Portland Timbers vs Orlando City – Tomorrow, Orlando City will make the second of two west coast visits, traveling across the country to face the reigning Western Conference champion Portland Timbers. The match will take place at Providence Park tomorrow, with the Timbers hosting the Lions.
The Timbers sit 9th in the Western Conference, having won only one of their four games. They have 5 points thus far, but are behind Houston Dynamo, who have the same number of points but a better goal difference.
After their first win of the season, the Portland Timbers were thrashed 4-1 by Dallas last weekend. Due to his call-up to the New Zealand team for the OFC qualifiers, they will be without defender Bill Tuiloma for this match.
Orlando City, on the other hand, has qualified for the Round of 8 Finals after winning two of their four games. They were formidable at home for much of the 2021 campaign before falling off and only just finishing inside the top seven and the playoff slots.
In their first four games of the 2022 season, the Florida franchise has three clean sheets. The Lions defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0 the week before. They each drew and lost a game this season, amassing a total of 7 points.
Portland Timbers vs Orlando City – Betting Analysis
The Portland Timbers haven’t been able to stop scoring, with goals in each of their previous six games. They haven’t lost a home game this season and haven’t lost since the last two head-to-heads.
Taking everything into account, Orlando City will have to put a lot of pressure on the Timbers at home in order to score, but we believe the hosts will find a way to turn things around and snare a narrow victory in the end.
