Houston Dynamo have 29 points performing as the host team. Portland Timbers have got 26 points from their away games. What are the odds of this being a home win?
- Houston Dynamo have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Portland Timbers have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Portland Timbers have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-8-12 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Portland Timbers have to travel 3600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
This has all the signs of an engrossing game with lots of action and energy as both contenders are well renewed since they last saw competitive action. Bring it on!
