The matches just keep coming as the Portland Timbers get set to take on Orlando City SC today at Providence Park. The Timbers will be looking to bounce back from Saturday’s 2-2 draw against the Colorado Rapids with a strong performance against an in-form Orlando side.
With injuries, suspensions, and accumulation of minutes wearing on the team, expect big changes to the Timbers’ lineup for today’s cross conference match up. The Timbers back line is perhaps the hardest hit, with center backs Larrys Mabiala, Bill Tuiloma, and Mo Jadama all coming back from injury, center back Julio Cascante serving the one match suspension for his red card against the Rapids, full back Jorge Villafana coming back from injury, and full back Marco Farfan out due to injury.
