Venue: Stubhub Center (30510 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Major League Soccer. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Orlando City. There's been little rest and some travel, but Portland Timbers will do their best.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-7-17 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches. Portland Timbers have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
