Our prediction for this MLS match:
Portland Timbers
Match Time & Date:

03:30
Prediction: 2-0
Cincinnati
Portland Timbers will try to recover from a 2-0 loss to FC Dallas es they welcome FC Cincinnati to their Providence Park on Sunday morning. The Timbers are eager to stay in the playoffs race and a win over Cincinnati will see them retain their spot in top seven. Forward Jonathan Rodriguez remains on the sidelines with injury, but the 32-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, are hit by Tah Anunga’s suspension and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Portland are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. All Kubo, Nwobodo, and Sergio Santos are out of contention with injuries for the away team. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time at Providence Park in Major League Soccer.
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.
