Vancouver Whitecaps
The Whitecaps are another team who are not good this season. They earned a win against FC Cincinnati last week, but still are 11th in the West. They have just 24 points. They have also won just two games away from home in thirteen matches.
The Whitecaps scored two against FC Cincinnati, but their attack is lacking overall. They still only score an average of 1.08 goals per game on the road. I expect them to struggle in Portland and maybe even get shutout. A goal will almost certainly not be enough, so Vancouver needs to score at least twice.

The defending has been poor all season long and playing in Portland will not make it any easier. They allow an average of 1.92 goals per game on the road. I think Portland is going to have a field day on this Whitecaps defense and will easily score a couple goals.
Portland Timbers
The Timbers lost to Minnesota in back to back games. One of these being a regular MLS match and the other coming in the US Open Semifinal. They are now eighth in the West and trailing seventh place by just two points.

The attack for the Timbers has been decent at best this season. They do average 2.33 goals per game at home so this is promising. They need to score early to ensure they do not give the Whitecaps any hope of getting a result. This should be a game where the Timbers score two or three goals easily.
The Timbers defense has also just been decent this season. They have 33 goals in total, but only allow one goal per game on average in their home games. Because they are playing the Whitecaps, there is no reason why they should not lock them down for 90 minutes.
Free Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Portland Timbers MLS Prediction:
Portland is lacking right now and desperately need a win. Being at home and playing one of the worst teams in the MLS should allow them to get a win.
4* Free MLS Betting Pick: UNDER 3.5
This feels like a game where only Portland will be scoring. That said, I like the under to be the play.
