Montreal Impact vs Portland Timbers 13 May 2026 Prediction

Canadian side Montreal has won four of its last five matches across all competitions and will face Portland Timbers for the first time since 2023 in the next MLS round. The sportsbooks see the home team as the favorite, which is understandable given that the visitors have lost five of their last six road matches.

Montreal

Montreal has been much stronger at home than on the road. In its last four home matches across all competitions, the Canadian team has won all four by a combined score of 12-1. That run helped Montreal climb from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to 11th place. The gap to the top nine is now only three points. Montreal’s main issue remains its defense: the team has conceded 23 goals in 11 MLS matches.

Portland Timbers

The visitors are also outside the playoff places in the Western Conference, sitting three points short. Portland has won three of its last five league matches, but two of those victories came at home. On the road, Phil Neville’s team has struggled badly, losing five of its six MLS away games.

Montreal vs Portland Timbers Prediction: Montreal to Win at 2.01

• Main Pick: Montreal is a serious threat to any MLS opponent at home. In three of its last four home matches, Montreal won by two or more goals. It is hard to see Portland Timbers, one of the weakest road teams in the West by away points, keeping up with an opponent in this kind of home form. The pick is Montreal to win at 2.01.
• Total Pick: The first meeting between these teams in three years could be an open game. At least three goals were scored in nine of Montreal’s 11 matches and in seven of Portland’s 11 matches in the current MLS season, with average totals of 3.6 and 3.5 goals respectively. The recommended bet is total over 2.5 at 1.56.
