After two frustrating league draws at home, the Portland Timbers are on the road and about to put their eight game unbeaten run on the line against the top team in Major League Soccer, Atlanta United.
Far from home, the Timbers face an Atlanta side that have posted the second highest scoring rate and fourth lowest goals against in MLS. Buoyed by stars like Golden Boot leader Josef Martinez, electric playmaker Miguel Almiron, and former Timber Darlington Nagbe, Atlanta are fast, creative, and capable of exploiting just about any situation to their advantage.
