Colorado is an outsider of the west. 12th place. Last line in the standings. 19 games are played. And the same number of points in the bank. The team has 5 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses.
Portland is the clear favorite of the upcoming game. I will not argue. The team is fighting for the treasured seven. There are only 4 points to Houston, which closes the playoffs zone at the moment. As for Colorado, it will be extremely problematic to lead the same fight for a place in the seven strongest. Therefore, the hosts will have high motivation. Well, despite the near neighborhood in the standings, Portland looks much better in recent games against the background of its opponent. Thus, the Timbers suffered only 2 defeats in the last 10 games. Colorado also didn’t lose too much, but if Portland gained 7 wins and 1 draw in the last 10 games, and two defeats, as I noted, then Colorado gained only 5 wins, two draws and three defeats in the last 10 games. And I will note that the Timbers play perfectly at home. Only 1 defeat in the 13 last home games and 2 draws; the rest of the games were won. Colorado, on the contrary, gained only 2 victories in the last 10 away matches. And I will also note that the Timbers simply totally dominate in the home games with Rapids. For example, Portland and Colorado played 10 head-to-head matches in Portland in their history, and the visitors managed to grieve the Timbers only once, namely back in 2011. And, of course, it is impossible not to note the problems with the squad of Colorado. The visitors cannot count on five players. In general, given the problems of Rapids, we should wait for the confident victory of the Timbers with a difference of more than 1 goal.
Prediction for the match: Portland Timbers to win with -1.0 handicap
