Portland Timbers form and stats

The season before, Portland Timbers's league statistics were 17 wins, 4 draws and 13 losses, leading to 4th spot in the Major League Soccer. Over these 34 matches they scored 56 goals and gave away 52. Playing as the host team in the previous season Portland Timbers produced 11-2-4 (win-draw-lost) with 35 goals and 22 conceded.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Portland Timbers have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost four.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Portland friendly games in pre-season: Portland Timbers played four friendlies, won 2, drew 1 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Portland Timbers scored 7 goals and conceded 5 in these four games.

New England form and stats

Last season was a triumph for New England in the national league as they took home the Major League Soccer trophy. The championship was secured after 22 wins, 7 draws and only 5 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 10, drew 4 and lost 3.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by New England in our archives, and the results are: seven wins for England, three draws and four defeats.

It's a day of discovery for New England as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which New England have played two with the results W0-D1-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games New England has scored 1 goal and conceded 5 times.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings involving these participants: Portland won two, New England were winners in one and we saw seven draws. two games with more than 2,5 goals, eight matches with two goals or less.
