The Portland Timbers are back on the road this weekend and set to take on Columbus Crew SC in their first cross-conference match of the year.

To get an idea of what the Timbers will be facing in Ohio, we turned to Patrick Murphy of our sister blog, the Massive Report, and he gave us some insight into the 2017 Crew.
