Thu 20th Aug, 03:30 BST, Providence Park, Portland

Mikey Varas guides his San Diego charges to the Providence Park in the Major League Soccer on Thursday morning, with Martí Cifuentes Corvillo's Portland Timbers the opponent. Form, head to head (H2H) stats, predictions and odds are all published below. It's our job to give you all the information you need to place a smart, well-informed bet. We're tipping over 2.5 goals, but why not flip through the tabs and find the one you like best?

Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Martí Cifuentes Corvillo and his side approach kick-off, we're predicting a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Stats imply both teams possess a number of attacking options, with goals in plentiful supply of late. As there is no outright, odds-on favourite to win the match, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Portland are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 51% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.90.
