Prediction: 1-3
New York City
Thanks to a 3-2 win over Minnesota United Portland Timbers put an end to their five-game winless run in MLS. Portland regained a much-needed confidence and they will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on New York City at their Providence Park. Fanendo Adi opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend and, no doubt, he is going to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders. Patrick Vieira’s troops, on the other hand, recorded back-to-back wins over the likes of San Jose Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake City in previous two league fixtures and they will be looking to cement top position in the Eastern Conference with a win over Portland Timbers. Seeing that key attacker David Villa has overcome his injury, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors, who have big ambitions for the 2018 MLS campaign.
