FC Dallas
Portland Timbers take on FC Dallas at Providence Park in a clash that could prove vital in the playoff race. Both sides are eyeing a top-nine finish, but Dallas arrive in slightly better form after back-to-back wins over Austin and Colorado. The visitors have found confidence in attack, yet injury problems could slow them down with Geovane Jesus, Newman, Paes, and Pomykal all sidelined. Portland, meanwhile, are traditionally tough to beat at home, relying on their strong midfield presence and quick transitions. Even though Crepeau and Rodriguez are unavailable, the Timbers will back themselves to make the most of the home advantage.
Recent head-to-head duels between these two sides have often been closely contested, and another tight affair is on the cards. Both teams have enough attacking weapons to find the net, but neither should dominate over the course of 90 minutes. Given Portland's fine record at home and Dallas’ winning momentum, sharing the spoils seems the most realistic outcome. Taking everything into account, a draw would see both sides stay in the playoffs race.
