Prediction: 2-1
Portland Timbers
BC Place will host Saturday’s football game between Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers. The Canadian outfit are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, and a triumph over Portland should see them climb to the playoffs berth. Talented Colombia attacker Deiber Caicedo is pushing for a start after finding the net in the 2-1 win over Austin, while both Caio Alexandre and Gutierrez remain in the recovery room.
The Timbers aim to build on back-to-back wins over Seattle Sounders and Houston Dynamo, but beating Vancouver on the road is easier said than done. The Canadians are on a three-game winning run at home, and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason for celebration on Saturday morning. Keep in mind, though, that Mexico international Jose Van Rankin returns to contention after missing the Houston game through suspension.
