Fresh off an emotional mid-week loss to Los Angeles FC in the U.S. Open Cup, the Portland Timbers are back at it again, this time hosting the Montreal Impact in league play.
The Timbers may have had their overall unbeaten run snapped, but the side have still gone without a loss in their last twelve league games. Montreal’s form is also nothing to sneeze at: after winning just three times in their first thirteen matches, the Canadian side are 5-2-0 since and have clawed their way up above the playoff line in the Eastern Conference.
