San Jose Earthquakes vs. Portland Timbers Betting Preview
In terms of ability, these two MLS teams seem matched.
San Jose Earthquakes
San Jose Earthquakes has made a decent start to their 2023 MLS season. Luchi Gonzalez’s men sit pretty in fifth position in the current MLS standings in the Western Conference section.
So far on their MLS schedule, San Jose has picked up seven wins from 17 league games. They have tied five and lost five of the other ten. The Quakes are undefeated in four MLS matches. Since back-to-back away losses to LA Galaxy and Los Angeles, the Californian team has drawn two and won two of the following four.
Last time out, San Jose secured a narrow victory over Philadelphia Union at PayPal Park. Jeremy Ebobisse’s early goal was canceled out, but Miguel Trauco hit a second-half winner to give the Earthquakes all three points.
San Jose is looking to extend their unbeaten streak to five MLS matches on the weekend. Can they get the job done on home turf? The Earthquakes vs Timbers picks are coming up.
Portland Timbers
Portland Timbers has had a mixed bag of results so far this season. They have won five, drawn five and lost seven of their opening 17 fixtures.
Portland sits in eighth position in the Western Conference MLS standings heading into this weekend’s matchup in California. They have been tough to beat of late, however, losing just two of eight.
After two defeats on the trot to Minnesota United and Sporting Kansas City at the end of May, the Timbers have started June with a draw with Seattle Sounders and a 1-0 home win over Dallas. Victory on Saturday would keep the momentum going and move Portland to within just three points of San Jose in the table. The best odds and MLS picks are below.

This will be the first meeting between the two teams since July 2022. In that one, Portland picked up a 2-1 win at Providence Park. A few months before, San Jose edged a five-goal thriller on home turf.
There has not been a lot to split the pair in recent times, and this could be another tight tussle. The teams could cancel each other out in the Golden State this Saturday night.
