USA Major League Soccer / Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes Preview

Analysis:

The two sides are preparing for MLS action taking place on Sunday when Portland Timbers will be taking on San Jose Earthquakes.

Portland Timbers

Portland Timbers will play in this fixture coming off the back of a 1-1 MLS tied result vs Vancouver Whitecaps. Portland Timbers have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 games.

San Jose Earthquakes

Since a losing effort in their last game against Houston Dynamo in MLS competition, San Jose Earthquakes and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. The stats don’t lie, and San Jose Earthquakes have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals overall. In defence, San Jose Earthquakes have some weaknesses to address.

Verdict:

It certainly seems that San Jose Earthquakes will have a difficult task to break down a Portland Timbers team who look set to boss most aspects of this game if it turns out as we expect. We’re therefore predicting a convincing 3-0 margin for Portland Timbers by the conclusion of the match.
