What to expect
We expect about 2.1 goals from FC Dallas and 1.5 from Portland Timbers, so FC Dallas come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.6 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 3.6 goals between the two (xG 2.1-1.5), landing about 61% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
We put the chance of that landing at about 59 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.36, which works out at about 74 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
