Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers Preview and Team News
Toronto FC Team News
Toronto’s struggles continued on Wednesday with another lacklustre performance in a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls at BMO Field. Even though this result snapped the Reds’ three-game losing streak, the team showed an evident lack of firepower upfront and couldn’t muster a lot of ideas in the final third.
Toronto lost the possession battle once again, and without enough weapons to play a direct style effectively, they won’t have many chances to beat opponents regularly if they get outplayed and outpossessed.

The Reds’ woes are even more concerning when analyzing their recent results at home. The draw against the Red Bulls marked their fifth straight league match without a win at BMO Field, and they’ve won just once in their last 10 across all competitions in front of their fans.
That disappointing run includes an elimination in the Round of 16 of the Canadian Championship at the hands of CF Montreal.

To make things even more complicated for Toronto, they’ll be far from full strength in this fixture. Zane Monlouis is questionable after being forced off in the first half against New York due to an undisclosed injury, while Jonathan Osorio, Deybi Flores, and Richie Laryea are away on international duty with Canada at the 2025 Gold Cup. Federico Bernardeschi is also sidelined through injury.
Toronto FC predicted lineup vs Portland Timbers (3-4-2-1): Johnson; Long, Rosted, Stefanovic; Thompson, Coello, Dominguez, Petretta; Insigne, Corbeanu; Brynhildsen.
Portland Timbers Team News
The Timbers have been an up-and-down squad all season, but recent results suggest they’re finding their stride. After being eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup by the San Jose Earthquakes on penalties and losing to Orlando City SC in late May, Portland bounced back and are now riding a three-game undefeated streak, which includes a 1-1 draw against San Jose in their previous match.
That draw against the Earthquakes was a fortunate outcome for the Timbers. Even though the team held a clear edge in possession, they were outshot 16 to 13 and also lost the xG battle by a sizable margin: 0.83 to 2.22.
San Jose created the best chances and could’ve easily returned home with all three points, but an outstanding performance from James Pantemis between the posts allowed Portland to steal a point.

The club have been slumping on the road lately and have failed to find the back of the net in their last three away meetings. Now they’ve got a golden opportunity to snap that skid against a depleted, confidence-lacking Toronto.
The Timbers will be without several players for this clash, but none more impactful than Antony. The winger, who’s tallied 13 goal contributions across 18 MLS matches this season, is set to miss at least six weeks with a hamstring injury.
As a result, most of the scoring load will probably fall on the shoulders of veteran striker Felipe Mora, who has five goals and four assists this season.
Portland Timbers predicted lineup vs Toronto FC (4-2-2-2): Pantemis; Mosquera, Surman, Zuparic, Fory; Ayala, Chará; Moreno, David da Costa; Mora, Kelsy.

Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Portland Timbers to win
- Odds: +133 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Toronto FC 1-2 Portland Timbers
Toronto might be able to score a goal, as they’ve managed to find the back of the net in four of their last five league matches, but that’s about it. They don’t have the depth, the firepower, or the confidence to secure all three points at the moment, even on home soil. Portland, by contrast, look well-positioned to extend their undefeated streak with a comfortable win on the road.
Toronto FC vs Portland Timbers Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score and over 2.5 total goals
- Odds: -109 (Tonybet)
Four of Toronto’s last five MLS encounters have ended with both sides scoring, and the same thing has happened in each of Portland’s last three contests. Thus, we expect this trend to continue at BMO Field this Saturday, especially given that both teams have scored in three of their last four competitive head-to-head meetings.
