*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Orlando City lost 3-2 at home to Nashville in the US Open Cup in midweek, though they are unbeaten in 11 games in the MLS and will kick off as 8/13 favourites here.

Portland Timbers meanwhile, lost on penalty kicks to SJ Earthquakes in their cup test and though they have lost only once in 11 MLS assignments, they have been given just a 20% chance of success in Portland. View our free football tips page for more MLS predictions.

Player to watch – Martin Ojeda

Argentinean attacker Martin Ojeda has been Orlando City’s star performer so far this season and has already chipped in with eight goals and three assists since the start of the new MLS campaign.

Ojeda can turn on the style

Ojeda, who has been averaging 2.50 shots and 2.60 key passes per game this season, is a key creative conduit and reliable goal scorer for Orlando and the 26-year-old should be a threat in the final third again this weekend.
