Chicago Fire v Portland Timbers : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 16th Aug, 23:00 BST, Soldier Field, Chicago

Martí Cifuentes Corvillo takes his Portland Timbers troops to the Soldier Field in the Major League Soccer on Sunday night, with Gregg Berhalter's Chicago Fire their rivals. We've analysed both clubs' last 20 Major League Soccer matches, as well as trends within the competition and the market, to generate our percentage predictions. All the stats, including head to heads (H2H), are shown below, alongside odds.

Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Gregg Berhalter and his side approach kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Statistics imply both teams possess a number of attacking options, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the game, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Chicago are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 57% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.51.
