Before Betting
The Vancouver Whitecaps are sitting in the No. 7 position in the Western Conference with 46 points, which is just two more than the Portland Timbers. However, the Timbers have played one game more than them, meaning that they’re in a bigger need of points.
Portland’s wish to win as many points as possible before the end of the regular season is evident from the fact that Phil Neville’s men are undefeated in their last two MLS games.
In their last game, they drew 3:3 with Real Salt Lake, which is the team currently occupying the No. 2 spot in the West. A week earlier, they defeated the table leaders LA Galaxy 4:2.
Meanwhile, the Whitecaps lost to Galaxy 4:2 last weekend, while in the round before, they played 1:1 with Houston Dynamo.
Vancouver vs. Portland Prediction
In the previous Whitecaps vs. Timbers game, the boys from Portland won comfortably 2:0. We predict that something similar will happen on September 28. Not only are Neville’s boys better than those playing for Vancouver, but they’re also in much better shape.
On top of everything, they also have the motivation to win this game, as collecting all three points would mean making one giant leap toward the 2024 MLS playoffs.
