Club America enter their second Phase One fixture as narrow home favourites, with the goals market offering clearer value than a coin-flip result.
The MLS side are priced at 47% to take all three points at Providence Park, only marginally ahead of Portland Timbers at 31%, with the draw-to-penalties scenario commanding 23% of the market. That tight spread reflects the knockout jeopardy—no safety net if level after ninety—and makes this one of Club America’s three group assignments worth close attention. Kick-off at Providence Park is set for 10:15 PM ET / 9:15 PM CT / 8:15 PM MT / 7:15 PM PT on Sunday, August 9.
