Portland Timbers welcome San Diego to Providence Park for their MLS Western Conference match. Both sides will be looking for a victory in the hope of breaking into the top 9 of the Western Conference table to stake their claims for at least a Wild Card spot. Both have been pretty average this season, although San Diego do head into this one on the back of three consecutive wins. Victory away at Los Angeles FC last time out followed two successive wins in the Leagues Cup against Puebla and Tijuana.
The Timbers have found form, winning four of their last six in all competitions. They did, though, lose their last MLS fixture, going down 2-1 away at Chicago Fire. While their away form has been poor, Portland possess a decent home record, losing just twice on home soil in the league all season. San Diego's away form doesn't make for particulary good reading, winning just twice on the road. They do have the upper hand in head-to-heads, winning three and drawing two of the last six meetings between the two.
For our prediction, we're looking at the Double Chance market. Despite San Diego's generally poor away record, they've found form. We think the away side are likely to get something here, we're betting on San Diego to win or draw

Our Portland Timbers vs San Diego FC Prediction
Despite the good home form of Portland Timbers, we still think San Diego will take something from this game. They've found form, they've kept three clean sheets in their last six scoring at least one goal in each of them. The Timbers will give them a good game, of course, but it's one where the away side should get at least a point from.
Our prediction for Portland Timbers vs San Diego is: San Diego to Win or Draw
