Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As you can see, our prediction for Sunday's game is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Portland and Sporting KC to score 3 goals or more combined during the standard 90 mins. 2 goals or fewer would mean the time doesn't win but, with statistics below suggesting both teams have goals in them, we think there's good reason to feel confident.
