Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes Prediction:

Portland Timber host San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS. This will be the final match before a two-week break is taken as the FIFA Club World Cup will soon get underway in the country.

They face a San Jose outfit who are starting to find consistency in the league. Although they lost their past match against St Louis, they were unbeaten in six league games prior to that result.

Portland Timbers Preview, Form and Standout Players

Portland Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Pantemis; Fory, Miller, Zuparic, Mosquera; Ayala, Ortiz; Alves, Costa, Moreno; Kelsy.

Phil Neville’s men have five men out for Saturday’s fixture- Zac McGraw, Jonathan Rodriguez are both doubts, while Maxime Crepeau, Ariel Lassiter, and Finn Surman are all sidelined.

Before Portland found two wins on the bounce, they drew their derby with Seattle 1-1 before getting knocked out of the US Open Cup by San Jose 1-0 and losing to Orlando by the same score. Since, they won back-to-back 2-1 games at home against Colorado and St Louis.

Antony Alves has two goals in his last two games, while Kevin Kelsy has scored once in his past two outings, so could both be crucial in Neville’s sides offensive drives.

San Jose Earthquakes Preview, Form and Standout Players

San Jose Predicted Lineup (3-4-3): Edwards; Roberts, Romney, Rodrigues; Ricketts, Leroux, Harkes, Kikanovic; Bouda, Martinez, Munoz.

Bruno Wilson, Noel Buck, Daniel, Niko Tsakiris, and Cristian Arango are all doubtful for Saturday.

The Quakes’ recent unbeaten run carried on with a 0-0 draw with New England, before defeating Portland in the US Open Cup. They then drew 3-3 with Houston Dynamo before beating LA Galaxy 1-0. Their run was ended last game to St Louis, with 2-1 loss, so they will be keen to get back to winning ways on Saturday.

Out of players who are not injured, Josef Martinez will be the key player to beat Portland. The Venezuelan is second top scorer behind the injured Arango, so his input will be vital.

San Jose have won just three of the pat 10 meetings, to Portland’s six. But recent results suggest that San Jose have a good stance in the match up, winning the last two meetings.
