Major League Soccer duel: Close contest expected between Philadelphia Union and Portland Timbers

The Major League Soccer league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Philadelphia Union and Portland Timbers are placed 10th and 7th respectively.

Best bookmaker betting odds:

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Major League Soccer. That game, against New York City, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Portland Timbers.

It should be mentioned that Portland Timbers play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Portland Timbers on grass are 12 victories, 5 draws and 15 defeats from 32 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 48-60. You can compare this with overall results below.

These teams have little in common geographically as Portland Timbers have to travel 4600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Philadelphia Union form and stats

Two home wins in a row for Philadelphia bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Philadelphia last time playing, versus Sporting KC. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Jamiro Monteiro and Sergio Santos (2) scoring for the victors. Before that, Philadelphia Union had a home game versus New England which ended with a victory 1-0.

Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake did an outstanding job against Sporting KC with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.

Portland Timbers form and stats
