Cincinnati vs Portland Timbers Betting Tips & Picks

Cincinnati failed to make chances pay last week when they faced in-form St. Louis City so now they’ll have to double down and crush Portland Timbers on the 23rd of April at TQL Stadium. Surely, you wouldn’t want to miss out on our top Cincinnati vs Portland Timbers betting tips.

Over 3.5 Goals

Neither of the two games between the two teams actually ended with four or more goals but Sunday’s clash isn’t going to be your run-of-the-mill MLS showdown. The brawl at TQL Stadium is a must-win for both sides and that’ll make the two teams’ chances to score quite potent.

Portland Timbers are the undeniable underdogs in this race but so were St. Louis City last week yet they thrashed Cincinnati 5-1. We don’t think we’ll see Pat Noonan’s boys concede five again but surely the game on the 23rd of April will not be deprived of plenty of goalscoring opportunities.

Cincinnati to Win

As you’ll see for yourself in the odds section of our Cincinnati vs Portland Timbers predictions, coach Pat Noonan’s boys have a 62.0% win probability ahead of Sunday’s game. That’s despite the brutal 5-1 beating they endured last week from newly established St. Louis City! Imagine how poor Portland Timbers’ display must be for the bookies to peg Cincinnati as the expected winners.

And they are. The visitors lost 50% of their games in the 2023 MLS campaign and we shouldn’t raise our eyebrows at the prospect that Cincinnati might thrash the Timbers on Sunday.

Cincinnati odds: -175 – 62.0%

Draw odds: +315 – 22.0%

Portland Timbers odds: +470 – 16.0%

Portland Timbers are huge underdogs in this race at +470 (16.0%). They’ll most likely get pipped by Cincinnati, the expected winners, with a staggering 62.0% chance of snatching the three points at -175. One thing we can say for certain is that we fully expect the 42.6% chance for four or more goals on Sunday to be enough as neither team has a particularly solid backline these days.

Cincinnati vs Portland Timbers Lineups & Team News

Cincinnati

The 5-1 whooping that coach Pat Noonan’s boys experienced last week has its positives. It could serve as a good wake-up call for the players to never underestimate anyone in MLS. Be it the 2022 MLS champions Los Angeles or the newly established St. Louis City. With the Portland Timbers game drawing near, we’re sure Noonan took the necessary precautions to avoid a second loss on the spin.

Predicted lineup – Celentano (GK), Mosquera, Miazga, Hagglund, Barreal, Moreno, Nwobodo, Arias, Santos, Brenner & Vazquez

Portland Timbers

Giovanni Savarese has good memories of his last game against Cincinnati. It was an MLS Cup game back in 2020 when Portland Timbers clawed a 5-3 win in the penalty shootout. However, with two victories, two draws, and four losses in MLS this season, there’s almost nothing left of that famous Timbers mojo.

Predicted lineup – Ivacic (GK), Bravo, McGraw, Zuparic, Mosquera, Asprilla, Chara, Ayala, Moreno, Evander & Boli

Player to Watch: Roman Celentano

We hate to say this but Roman Celentano was undoubtedly the weak link in the Cincinnati chain last week. St. Louis City obliterated favorites Cincinnati with a 5-1 score at CITYPARK in a game Celentano will surely do his best to forget.

Not only did he concede five goals in a single game but one of them was recorded as an own goal. He’ll have to be on top of his game on Sunday if our Cincinnati vs Portland Timbers predictions are to prove correct.
