Portland Timbers-SJ Earthquakes 
The game that will close the match I will deal with in this article, Portland will host San Jose in a battle between teams that come from continuous good performances and victories.
The hosts played in midweek in Los Angeles, dissolving the Galaxy 6-3. And in defense they may have shown their problems again, but offensively they fired and continued at the same pace of the last games. They count 4 wins with 14-4 goals, as a result of all of them being within a victory of Seattle, which is leading in the ranking of the western region. Besides, they have the third best attack in the category, having scored 33 goals in 15 matches. In excellent condition all the players from the midfield and up front, guilty of pluralism in scoring.
San Jose has made an impressive comeback in its last three games, from the overwhelming crashes it turned into victories and even emphatic with the most recent one against Vancouver with 3-0. He greatly improved his defensive performance, although he is still the worst defense in the league with 40 passive goals. Offensively, he was not behind anyway, he is finally rolling even more in this area, as a result of which he is again in a playoff position where two weeks ago he seemed a lost cause. Only negative if one can characterize it this way the fact that the victories came against passable opponents, so an opportunity to prove against Portland if this progress is absolutely true.
The two opponents are formed, especially Portland, which does not know how to play differently than to attack. San Jose will primarily look at the defense, but a goal will make the match rodeo and I consider this as a more likely scenario to verify the over 3,5 at odds of 2,15 on Stoiximan.
