The Portland Timbers are on the road at Real Salt Lake today and are looking for more road points to shore up their place in the standings with the payoffs rapidly approaching. Real Salt Lake are no pushovers, however, and have been on a tear since knocking off the Timbers to the tune of 4-1 all the way back in July. A playoff berth is still quite unlikely for Mike Petke’s side, but with several Western Conference sides still within reach, nobody should be sleeping on RSL.
Coming into this match, the Timbers are once again dealing with a large group of players who are either questionable or out, including recent standouts Vytas Andriuškeviu010dius, Jeff Attinella, and Darren Mattocks.
