Columbus Crew vs Portland Timbers Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 4/18/24, 6:00 AM by Simon Day | Modified on 4/18/24 at 10:00 AM in Major League Soccer Picks

The Columbus Crew host the Portland Timbers in a key MLS matchup on Saturday evening. The Timbers are in a terrible run of form, and have now gone five games winless. Defence has been a huge weakness for the Timbers, they have conceded 11 goals in their last 4 games and have not kept a clean sheet since the first day of the season. On the plus dies, they have been finding the net on a regular basis and are averaging a healthy two goals per game.

Meanwhile, Columbus are in far better form than their opponents, especially defensively. They have lost just one of their first eight games, conceding a league low seven goals in the process. However, they have struggled at the other end of the pitch, managing just three goals in their last four games.

The sides have met 13 times previously, with the Timbers holding a 7-3 lead in the head to head.

Our Columbus Crew vs Portland Timbers Prediction

Columbus have not quite hit the heights of last season, but still look a very solid outfit. Their defence is one of the very best in MLS and they are proving very hard to beat. Despite Portland's fairly impressive goalscoring form, we are yet to be convinced they can mount a serious challenge in the MLS Western Conference. Unsurprisingly, Columbus are short priced favourites for the win. And whilst we agree with the bookmakers, we think there is better value in backing the Crew to keep a clean sheet in addition to winning the game. So ourprediction for Columbus Crew vs Portland Timbers is: Columbus to win to nil, 3.03 at FanDuel.

Prediction:

Columbus to win to nil
