After a week’s worth of friendly results, another opportunity for the Portland Timbers to move up the Western Conference table has presented itself. If the Timbers can take all three points in today’s match against struggling Eastern Conference side D.C. United, they could end the weekend as high as third place in the Western Conference.
Having missed out on two golden opportunities to move up the standings against Atlanta United and the Seattle Sounders, the Timbers have to grind their way up the table instead and have done so since those two notable failures.
