Los Angeles FC v Portland Timbers : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 23rd Aug, 03:30 BST, Banc of California Stadium, Los Angeles

the Banc of California Stadium is the stage on Sunday morning, as Marc Dos Santos's Los Angeles FC are visited by Martí Cifuentes Corvillo's Portland Timbers in the Major League Soccer. All of the important stats for the encounter, including head-to-heads, predictions and odds from leading bookmakers across seventeen major markets are included in this preview. It's all designed to help you make a well informed, intelligent bet.

Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Marc Dos Santos readies his troops ahead of kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Statistics imply both sides have the weapons to deliver up top, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the fixture, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.

There should be plenty of goalmouth action in this one – we’re predicting that there’s a 64% chance of LAFC v Portland having 3 goals or more. ‘Over 2.5 goals’ is the most probable outcome in this market, and is available at a best price of 1.40.
