Both Teams to Score + Over 2.5 goals (-110)
While the Timbers maintained a clean sheet against Queretaro to start the group stage, the expert predicts this defensive run will end when they face Club America. The Mexico City-based team has scored five goals in their first two Leagues Cup matches and hasn`t been shut out since the second leg of the Liga MX final on May 25. The “Both Teams to Score + over 2.5 goals” bet is available at +100 odds.
Draw (+275)
Club America has a pattern of draws, having tied 2-2 with Real Salt Lake and 3-3 with Minnesota United in the early stages of the tournament. They also drew two of their first three Liga MX matches this season. Eimer anticipates that Club America`s aggressive offense will be neutralized by the Timbers` defensive focus and counter-attacking play, potentially resulting in a draw. A draw is offered at +275 odds.
