The visiting Phoenix Rising side should be favourites in this visit to Portland Timbers II, as the away team holds a 34 point advantage from their 30 league games this season.

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Phoenix Rising have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-0-0 (win-draw-loss) from three matches. Phoenix Rising have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
