In the ongoing Leagues Cup competition, Minnesota United and Portland Timbers have been making waves with impressive performances, while Querétaro and Club América have been facing challenges.
Minnesota United, currently in great form, demonstrated their resilience in their Leagues Cup opener against Club América. Despite a 3-3 draw in regulation time, Minnesota United narrowly lost 8-7 in a penalty shootout. The team showcased their attacking prowess with goals from Tani Oluwaseyi, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, and Carlos Harvey[1][5].
Minnesota United's recent performance over their last nine matches has been competitive, with a notable game against Club América and a comeback win in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals against Chicago Fire FC[4]. The team has been beaten just once in these nine matches[6].
On the other hand, Club América had an unimpressive start to their Leagues Cup campaign, losing to Real Salt Lake in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regulation time[3]. They were forced to net an equalizing goal on the last kick of the game before losing[3].
Meanwhile, Portland Timbers have been in excellent form, winning two straight matches in shutout fashion. They recently destroyed Atletico de San Luis 4-0, despite only producing four shots on target[2].
The Portland Timbers vs. Querétaro match is predicted to end in a 2-0 win for Portland Timbers, according to BetOnline[7]. Querétaro, however, have struggled offensively in their recent matches, creating only seven total shots on target in four competition matches this season[10].
Querétaro will be without midfielder Angel Zapata, who picked up two yellow cards[9]. Despite this, they have allowed only two goals in four competition matches this season[8].
Tigres UANL currently leads the Leagues Cup with two outright wins[11]. Several teams on the MLS side have three points after one match[12].
In the Portland Timbers vs. Querétaro match, the best bet is on Portland Timbers ML/BTTS No (+190), according to BetOnline[7]. This suggests a confident win for the Timbers, with a low likelihood of Querétaro scoring.
