At 7:00pm ET, my selection is on Portland. The Timbers will have the edge at Providence Park due to their strong home form and St. Louis' ongoing struggles, particularly on the road. Portland boasts an impressive seven-game unbeaten streak at home in MLS play, with four wins and three draws, showcasing its ability to capitalize on home field advantage. The Timbers lost their first game here this season and it hasn't happened again since. Their recent 2-1 victory over Colorado Rapids highlights their attacking prowess, led by players like Antony and Kevin Kelsy, and a robust pressing game under Phil Neville’s tactics. In contrast, St. Louis, despite a recent 2-1 win against San Jose, has been plagued by inconsistency, with only one win in its last eight away games and a porous defense that has failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of its last 12 MLS matches. Portland’s superior form, home dominance, and St. Louis’ defensive vulnerabilities and poor away record add up to a Timbers victory. Play on Portland
