Hoping to feature in the knockout rounds of the Leagues Cup, the Portland Timbers have the chance to pick up an all-important three points on Thursday, when they'll take on a struggling Tijuana side at Providence Park. The hosts did lose last time out, but returning home, they'll fancy themselves to improve, especially against a team that is badly out of form.
If we look at the early lines ahead of this fixture, we can see that the Timbers are quite heavily fancied to get over the line in front. It's easy to see why. In fact, we could make a case for the hosts being even sturdier favorites. They've scored lots of home goals in recent times, which bodes well given that they are going up against a Tijuana team that has struggled to score goals on the road, particularly in the Leagues Cup.

Our Portland Timbers vs Tijuana Prediction
As touched on above, this is clearly a sizable opportunity for the Timbers to not only bounce back but to pick up the win that takes them into the knockouts. The visitors have found it very tough to score on the road, and that's why they've lost two out of two. In contrast, the hosts have been strong at home, scoring plenty of goals, winning three on the spin at Providence Park in all competitions. On this basis, they're a decent bet to come out on top all the time odds of -109 are available.
