##St. Louis City v Portland Timbers, Lineups & Betting Tips

Match Details: July 14, 2025 | CITYPARK | MLS| 00:00 GMT

Portland Timbers will be aiming to complete a league double over struggling St.Louis City when the sides meet at CITYPARK this weekend. Portland were 2-1 winners at home to St.Louis back in June and arrive into this meeting off the back of a victory against New England Rev.

The hosts are on a wretched run of form right now, having lost their last three and four of their last five, with no wins in that time and just one win across their last nine (losing 7).

Portland appears to have made the most from having a batch of home games in quick succession recently, but their away form is a concern due to three consecutive road defeats.

##St. Louis City v Portland Timbers Predictions

It’s very difficult to fancy the home side's chances here given their current form. No team has allowed more attempts at their own goal than St.Louis this season.

Scoring goals hasn’t been a big problem, with Saturday’s hosts netting exactly one goal per game, but they’ve conceded 34.

Portland haven’t exactly been watertight either despite their strong league form and table position with 28 goals shipped in 20 league matches.

Both teams have found the net in five of the league's six St.Louis games, while that also goes for four of the last five Portland matches.

Of the six previous H2H’s there has been only one scoreless draw with both teams scoring in five of the six matches.

We should get some goals and that’s why I’m advising a stake on BTTS.
