Columbus vs Portland Match Preview
The excitement is building as we approach this Saturday to watch the match between Columbus Crew and Portland Timbers. Read this article for the best MLS analysis on the market!
Columbus Crew Analysis: Draw kings
Columbus Crew enters this match following a goalless draw against Real Salt Lake. The Crew dominated possession in the game, holding 55% of the ball and taking 12 shots, 4 of which were on target. Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake had 16 shots, with 8 of them hitting the target.
Sadly for Columbus fans, recent matches have been rather dull. Even though their offense has managed to create decent chances in the box, most of their attacking force has not been accurate enough to grab a goal. Ultimately they have drawn 5 consecutive times out of their last 6 games.
Portland Analysis: Looking to push into the mid table
In their previous MLS match, Portland Timbers and Los Angeles FC played to a 2-2 draw. Portland Timbers held onto the ball for only 39% of the time and attempted 10 shots at the goal, with 4 of them hitting the target. Felipe Mora (11′) and Evander (34′) were the goal scorers for the Portland Timbers. On the other hand, the Los Angeles FC had a total of 16 shots on goal, with 4 of them being on target. Mateusz Bogusz (21′, 51′) successfully found the back of the net for Los Angeles FC.
It has been hard for The Timbers in recent matches, with their midfield and attack not being creative enough. Due to their lack of consistent chances, Portland has lost 3 and drawn 2 out of their last 6 matches.
Our soccer analysis suggests Columbus Crew should have an easy matchup this time around, hopefully to break their drawing record in the MLS.
