Portland and St. Louis faced off two weeks ago in the Leagues Cup and are up against one another again. Will the Timbers avenge their defeat, or will St. Louis bag another win against this opponent?
Before Betting on Portland Timbers vs. St. Louis City
As they headed into the break, the Timbers faced an away defeat against LA Galaxy, 3-2, bringing their total losses this season to nine. Still, Portland is in the play-in zone and close to the playoffs, and the reason for that is that it is the second most efficient offense in the West, with 50 goals scored.
If they had a bit better defense, things would look much brighter for the Timbers, who allowed 42 hits, the third-worst in the conference.
St. Louis won two of its four League Cup games, surpassing its triumph count in the last 14 MLS appearances. If they continue at this pace, we just might see them in the race for the play-in, but to be honest, even with that, the chances are slim.
The team from St. Louis had a busy transfer window throughout the pause, adding a few players to their roster. Coach John Hackworth knows that he and his boys have nothing to lose now and are ready to take risky moves in order to improve something.

Guests are improving their performance, and they won’t back down in Portland. The hosts, meanwhile, have an impressive offense and a poor defense, which suggests we should bet on both teams netting.
