Football Bet of the Day: Back Portland to punish Houston

• Portland have won 5/6 at home
  

• Timbers have also won this fixture 5 years in a row
  

• Back Portland to win
  

Portland Timbers v Houston Dynamo
Sunday 02:00 (Live on MLS Season Pass)

In Denmark yesterday, Silkeborg beat Hvidovre 2-1 which means a push on our Asian handicap bet and we get our stake back.

We've crossed the pond today to catch the MLS game between Portland Timbers and Houston Dynamo. The hosts could use a win to confirm their play-off place and avoid a wild-card match - and we think they could get it.

Portland have won 5/6 at Providence Park including all of the last four. They've scored at least twice in all six games. They've also won this particular fixture for five seasons running since 2018.

Houston are into the playoffs themselves, but that's largely thanks to their strong home form. On the road, the Dynamo are W2-D5-L9. They've scored just six times across their last nine road trips, getting shut out five times. We're not convinced they've got the firepower to live with the Timbers tonight, so we'll back the home win.
