After managing to overcome bad weather and a stingy Sporting KC defense, the Boys in Blue turn their attention to the 2015 MLS Cup Champs, the Portland Timbers. Let’s take a look at where the Timbers are coming into Saturday:
Portland (41) currently sits one point behind the new Western Conference leaders, Seattle Sounders (42), in what is a tight playoff race at the top. The Timbers’ last match ended in a 1-1 draw with Seattle, “a decent result on the road in a hostile environment” according to Timm Higgins of SB Nation’s Stumptown Footy.
