Inter Miami CF vs Portland Timbers Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 27/05/2022, 21:54  by Daniel Ngulu in Major League Soccer Predictions

Inter Miami and Portland Timber have both struggled in the season and as they face off in the MLS, do not carry very strong runs. Inter Miami hosts Portland in this game, with both sides on 15 points and placed 10; Inter in the Eastern Conference and Portland in the Western. The home team is coming from a loss on post-match penalties to Orlando City, which ended in elimination from the US Open Cup after a 1-1 draw. While their start to the season was poor, they’ve been posting some stability in recent games, failing to score once in the last five matches, and they haven’t lost in regular time in the last five games. Three times in the last five matches, Inter Miami have scored two or more goals. At home, they have a five-game unbeaten run, and in these five matches, they’ve managed to score twice or more in each one of them. Four of them have produced over 2.5 goals.

This is going to be the second time in history that these two sides meet. In the first meeting, Portland Timbers beat Inter Miami 1-0, and the hosts will have reason to feel this is payback time. Portland Timbers go into this game on a poor run of form, having managed just one win in eight games. They have lost three times in the last four matches, while failing to score in two of those four games. Portland Timbers managed a 7-2 win over a hapless Sporting KC three match days ago but even in their domination, the frailties in defence were easily spottable. The visitors have conceded two or more goals in each of the last four matches, their most recent once ending in a 2-0 defeat at home to Philadelphia Union. It is worse away from home; they have not won in the last five and failed to score in three of them. In their eight away games so far this season, Portland Timbers have conceded two or more goals in five and they have just one clean sheet and one win.
