St Louis City
Portland Timbers take on St. Louis City at Providence Park where the hosts face an uphill battle with a severely weakened squad. Injuries to David Ayala and Marvin Loría, along with suspensions for Miller, Rodríguez, and Župarić, have left the Timbers short-handed. This could hinder their chances of securing a victory, despite playing in front of home fans.
St. Louis City, on the other hand, arrives with a full-strength squad and no fresh injury concerns. The visitors are coming off a draw against Sporting Kansas City before the summer break, a result that showcased their resilience and ability to grind out points. Given the depleted state of the Portland lineup, St. Louis will likely see this as an opportunity to capitalize. However, Providence Park is never an easy place to visit, and the Timbers' home advantage might just be enough to earn them a point. Considering the circumstances, a draw seems to be the most probable outcome in this encounter.
