Betting suggestion:

The Portland team will have to give it all in the field. The visiting team should set up a strong defensive scheme. This should be a very closed game, so we will bet that there will be no more than 3.5 goals in the match.

Preview
Portland and Sporting KC face at Providence Park, in a match for the 0ª round of the MLS. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 15‑05‑2022, in a match for the MLS, Portland Timbers won by (7‑2). The goals of the match were scored by S. Blanco (52' and 46' ), Nathan Fogaca (56' and 69' ), M. Loria (88' ), S. Moreno (90' ) and B. Tuiloma (12' ), for Portland, and by M. Tzionis (75' ) and J. Russell (57' ), for Sporting KC. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Portland

This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away win against New York City by (0‑1). In the last 10 home matches Portland has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches.

The Portland Timbers ended up missing out on the playoffs last season and don't want to repeat that again. The team will try to maintain regularity early on so as not to run the risk of getting into trouble at the end of the Major League Soccer regular phase. The team wants to debut with a victory and should impose themselves early on against Sporting Kansas City. By having tactical organization and executing their strategy accurately, the chances of adding the three points will be greater.

Confirmed Lineup: David Bingham, Dario Župarić, J. Rasmussen, Zac McGraw, Juan Mosquera, Evander, Eryk Williamson, Diego Chará , Jarosław Niezgoda, Yimmi Chará, Marvin Loría.
Coach: P. Neville.

Analysis Sporting KC

This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Phoenix Rising by (4‑2). In the last 10 away matches Sporting KC has won 1, tied 3 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Sporting Kansas City comes from a weak performance in Major League Soccer and many things need to change for this not to happen again. Points must be added at home and away from their stadium, and this applies to the current round. Against the Portland Timbers they need to be careful, but they can't help but look for a good result. Therefore, there must be homogeneity between the sectors and a balance, all of this to have real conditions to score.

Confirmed Lineup: John Pulskamp, Ben Sweat, Graham Zusi, Robert Voloder, Andreu Fontàs, Erik Thommy , Rémi Walter, Roger Espinoza, Khiry Shelton, Dániel Sallói, Willy Agada.
Coach: P. Vermes.
