On July 1, at 04:00, Portland Timbers receives FC Dallas’s visit in a match at the US Football League’s Western Conference. Batch issues could affect the performance of your favorites.
Without Flores and Polo, leaving with the national teams, Portland can not even bet on McIntosh, Tuiloma and Valentin, all being injured. Dallas misses Acosta, Cannon and Gruezo, but they can be replaced by the coach of the guests. Dallas is 4th in MLS league (27-24 golaver) and has one of the best attacks in the conference. Portland has, in turn, a season below expectations.
Timbers is 11th out of 12, with 24-28 golaver and only 5 wins in 15 stages. But, of course, Portland played three matches less than Dallas because of the crowded schedule. This means that the two teams would be on a tie if Dallas would win all the arrears! There is no great difference in skill between the two bands, and direct results demonstrate it. Dallas won 2-1 last direct match, after losing the same game score in 2018 at home. In the last six games of the two we witnessed two successes for each camp, as well as two straight draws, 0-0 and 1-1.
Portland comes after a defeat with Montreal Impact (1-2), but has won the previous four games with Houston Dynamo (4-0), Los Angeles Galaxy (4-0) and Seattle Sounders (2-1). Dallas made 2-2 with Vancouver Whitecaps last season after winning Toronto (3-0) and Oklahoma Energy (4-0). In the last six stages, FC Dallas lost a single game, home 1-2 with modest New Mexico, in the US Open Cup, a competition that many MLS teams disregard.
PREDICTION: Portland Timbers to win @ 1,65
