Prediction: 1-1
Austin FC
Portland Timbers and Austin FC take on each other at Providence Park in what is expected to be a close MLS game. Portland failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Charlotte in their opener, and they face yet another difficult task against Austin. Paraguay international Cristhian Paredes is pushing for a start, while all Santiago Moreno, Jonathan Rodriguez, and Dario Zuparic continue to miss out with injuries.
Los Verdes, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City. Portland Timbers, though, are tough to beat at home, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Bryan Farkarlun continues to miss out with injury, but the 23-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous two meetings in MLS.
Highlighted Team (Portland Timbers):
Founded in 2009, Portland Timbers is a soccer club based in Portland, Oregon. The Timbers are well known for their green kit and their secondary colours are red and black. Portland welcome their opponents at Providence Park and the capacity of their home ground is 21.144.
The club hold a long-running rivalry with Seattle Sounders as the two clubs used to face each other in the North American Soccer League. In 2015 Portland Timbers did remarkably well to win the MLS Cup and that is considered the club’s biggest success.
The Timbers defeated Columbus Crew in the final of the tournament and it has to be noted that the title game was hosted by Mapfre Stadium (Columbus).
Former Premier League footballer Liam Ridgewell played for Portland in the 2015 MLS Cup final against Columbus Crew. Speaking of the club’s supporters, you should have in mind that the Timbers sold out almost every home game in the MLS. Portland’s main supporters group is the Timbers Army.
