Vancouver Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers 4/18/2021 Picks Predictions Previews

A Cascadia derby will conclude the first match-day of the MLS, when Vancouver will play host to Portland on Sunday. Neither team did a very good job last season, with Portland being eliminated in the first round, while Vancouver didn’t even qualify for the playoffs. The Whitecaps did not have a single draw last season (9 wins, 14 losses), scoring 27 goals and conceding 44 in the process. They were mediocre at best on home grounds (6 wins, 5 losses), with 21 goals for and 20 against. Vancouver struggled a lot on the road last season, winning 3 and losing 9, while scoring a mere 6 goals and conceding 24 in the process. They brought some reinforcements from South America and Europe, especially in the midfield and the defense.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers Predictions 4/18/2021

The Portland Timbers were really unlucky last season, for multiple reasons. They were at the top spot of the Western Conference for the greater part of the season and played awesome soccer at times. Two bad results in the two final matches of the regular season dropped them to the 3rd spot. That dropped forced them to play against Dallas in the first round of playoffs, where they conceded a late goal to send the match to the penalty shoot-out, where Dallas beat them. Portland had the 2nd best away record in the Conference last season (5-2-4), scoring 25 and conceding 17 goals in the process. They’ve been great in the off-season friendlies (2 wins, 1 loss, 2 draws) and in the CCL (1 win and 1 draw) where they qualified to the quarter-finals.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers. For what it’s worth, this is a Cascadia Derby between two regional rivals. Matches between the tw sides often have 3 goals or more (except from last season where Portland won both matches by 1-0). I am taking the Over 3 Goals here, in a match where Portland should have the upper hand, but Vancouver should not be underestimated.
