Club America host Portland Timbers in a Leagues Cup Phase One encounter where the goals markets offer clearer signals than the tight result pricing.

bet365 price Club America at 45% to take the full three points at Providence Park, with Portland Timbers at 31% and a draw-to-penalties scenario at 24%. The narrow spread reflects the knockout format’s uncertainty, but this is only the second of Club America’s three Phase One fixtures, leaving room to build momentum.

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.
