Kalshi prices Portland at 47% to win at Providence Park, with Club Tijuana at 29% and a straight-to-penalties draw at 23%. The market sees value in an open game, and this is the Timbers’ third and final Phase One fixture. Home advantage should tilt the tie Portland’s way, but the margin is narrow. Kickoff at Providence Park is set for 10:30 PM ET / 9:30 PM CT / 7:30 PM PT on Thursday, August 13.

How Leagues Cup Phase One works
Every club in the Leagues Cup plays three cross-league games, MLS against Liga MX. There are no draws. If the score is level after 90 minutes, the game goes straight to a penalty shootout, and the winner banks two points while the loser takes one. The top four MLS teams and the top four Liga MX teams then advance to the knockout rounds.
