The hosts from Toronto finally put an end to their series of losses, but the draw against New York Red Bulls is unlikely to bring true peace to the fans. Only one victory in the last ten matches and inconsistent performances at home keep the team in the danger zone. The motivation for a breakthrough is there, but often faces defensive lapses.
Portland show teeth in attackPortland Timbers have built a stable unbeaten streak and demonstrate increasingly confident play in the attacking positions. Three wins in eight away games are also a sign that they are not afraid to attack boldly, even far from home. Considering the current form and balance in the squad, Portland will seek three points with offensive football.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goalsThe clashes between these two teams traditionally bring high scoring matches - five of the last six games between them have ended with at least three goals. The trend is unlikely to be broken now, and fans can safely expect a new open and spectacular match.
