Goals from Basset and Harris, 34% ball possession, and 50 defensive clearances helped Colorado Rapids beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1, handing them their second straight loss. Now back in Commerce City, Colorado Rapids is the betting favorite to beat Portland Timbers in 90 minutes. With that result, Colorado Rapids remains one of the four Western Conference teams undefeated after four matchdays.
In matches between Colorado Rapids and Portland Timbers, there is a clear dominance of the home team. Since 2022, there have been seven matches between the two teams, and the home team has never lost. With a goal from Felipe Mora, the Portland Timbers tied the LA Galaxy last Sunday at Jeld-Wen Field, but lost their only away game this season against Nashville SC, losing 2-0 in Austin.
The Timbers' losing streak on the road continues, as they haven't won in any of their last seven away games in all competitions, and betting sites appear to be predicting a Colorado victory on Saturday.
