Minnesota
There are odds of +600 available that Portland land a 2-1 win. We like the correct score option as there’s a nice reward if you can accurately predict the outcome.

Cole Bassett (Portland) can be backed to finish with at least one shot on goal at -118. He looks like an attractive wager on the Shots on Target market and we recommend backing this player prop bet selection.
David Costa (Portland) has netted two goals in his past five MLS games. Based on the numbers, we are looking to bet the +300 for him to find the net on the Anytime Goalscorer market.

Portland Timbers vs Minnesota United Odds
The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.
For this MLS encounter, the bookmakers have Portland Timbers as the -104 favourites to win. This therefore implies that they have a 51% chance of triumphing. Minnesota United are the +240 outsiders, with the draw being a different option which could yield dividends.
The Asian Handicap -0.5 bet means you need your selection to simply win. Portland are -108, although Minnesota are +0.5 at -122 and you win with the latter if things end in a draw.
Over 2.5 Goals is the shortest odds and that means three goals or more are anticipated. Punters anticipating that both teams will find the net are able to land -250 for the BTTS Yes option.
The best betting apps always do a great job when it comes to MLS matches. They provide football bettors with hundreds of markets and you can cherry-pick the most attractive options.
