Welcome to a quick midweek forecast!
After falling at home to the surging Seattle Sounders, the Portland Timbers are now on a four game losing streak - their longest since 2012. As if that wasn’t enough, the team also dropped below the playoff line on total points for the first time since April and no longer controls its own destiny in the Cascadia Cup. The final score was 1-0, thanks to a Julio Cascante own goal and a mostly toothless offense.
Since it’s midweek, no standings.
Wednesday night, the teams that finished top of their respective conferences in 2017 face off in decidedly different circumstances.
