Competition: USA USL Championship
Date: Sat 12.October
Match begins: 02:00 (UTC)
Venue: Providence Park (21144 seats)

Season ticket holders at Providence Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Portland Timbers II languishing in the 25th position so far. The guesting San Antonio will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike San Antonio's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artificial turf have ended in 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. It's quite the trip for San Antonio when visiting Portland Timbers II as the cities are 3300 kilometers apart.
