Minnesota is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 4 matches with no losses in that span. Their attack has been on fire in these matches as well as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 4 straight. They are going up against a Portland side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 3 of their last 4 matches and they only have 1 win in their last 10 straight matches, collecting 6 losses in that span. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 9 matches. When playing away from home, they have lost their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 6 matches with no wins in that span. They have also allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 away matches. Portland has a good attack that can score goals but they have still been in awful form due to their awful defense that has been conceding a lot of goals this season. Minnesota has been in much better form in their recent matches as they also have a very potent attack that can score lots of goals and they are going to find the net here with how bad that defense has been. Minnesota also has a very good record against Portland as they have won the last 2 straight meetings, outscoring Portland 5-1 in those 2 matches, and Minnesota has also dominated them at home as they have won 6 of their 7 meetings in club history at home with no losses in that span. Minnesota will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
