St Louis City to Win
Some less experienced soccer experts than Football Whispers’ may tell you it’s all about beginners’ luck but that’s not the case. There’s something special about Bradley Carnell’s team and we’re sure that a third consecutive victory is on its way on Sunday. After all, Portland are dreadful at the moment. Yes, they defeated Sporting KC 1-0 at home but they certainly didn’t deserve to win as the visitors were by far the superior team on the pitch.
Over 2.5 Goals
Portland Timbers’ last match was a joy to behold. It ended with a very frustrating 3-2 win for Los Angeles and we could’ve easily seen more goals as neither team performed particularly well when it came to defending.
Furthermore, St. Louis City are the most engaged team since the start of the season. With six goals scored and three conceded, coach Bradley Carnell’s boys are certainly giving their best to entertain all MLS fans.

Portland Timbers odds: +102 – 47.5%
Draw odds: +265 – 26.0%
St Louis City odds: +255 – 26.5%
It’s no wonder Portland Timbers’ odds at +102 (47.5%) make them the bookies’ favorites to win the game. St Louis City are the new kid on the block and it’ll take time before Bradley Carnell’s team build up stature as the +255 odds barely give his team a 26.5% chance to emerge victoriously.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Portland Timbers
The Timbers didn’t enjoy the best start in the MLS campaign. With one victory and one loss since the start of the season, it’s anyone’s guess how the players will cope with St Louis City’s momentum but our top Portland Timbers vs St Louis City pick is entirely in favor of the visitors. The only positive thing we can pinpoint outside the result against Sporting KC was the fact that Portland Timbers didn’t concede a goal. Their overall performance wasn’t up to par as Sporting KC were by far the better of the two teams on the pitch on the 28th of February.
Predicted lineup – Ivacic (GK), Rasmussen, McGraw, Zuparic, Mosquera, Chara, Williamson, Loria, Evander, Moreno & Niezgoda
St Louis City
Our key Portland Timbers vs St Louis City predictions are based on the visitors’ outstanding performance since the start of the 2023 MLS campaign. With six points in the ranking, the only team above coach Bradley Carnell’s boys are the unyielding Seattle Sounders who have yet to concede a goal. Considering the fact that St Louis City are going to face Seattle Sounders in two weeks, we’re sure that the players will want to face their top rivals as equals and that means a solid performance against Portland Timbers on Sunday.
Predicted lineup – Burki (GK), Nelson, Parker, Hiebert, Nerwinski, Lowen, Blom, Stroud, Ostrak, Alm & Klauss
Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Juan David Mosquera
Juan David Mosquera’s first-half winner gave Portland Timbers a key 1-0 win over Sporting KC two weeks ago and while he didn’t score in the next game, we still believe you should pay close attention to this player on Sunday. Evander and Christian Paredes were the ones who placed their name on the scoreboard versus Los Angeles FC but we’re sure that Juan David Mosquera will do his best to help his team win on the 12th of March.
