New York RB are chasing the top spots while Portland Timbers are more concerned with steering clear of relegation. May the best team win!
- New York RB have the fewest points (2) at home in Major League Soccer
- Portland Timbers have scored at least twice as many goals away as New York RB have scored home.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Portland Timbers have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-5-10 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.
Portland Timbers have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
