The Portland Timbers’ match on Sunday against Vancouver Whitecaps FC won’t technically be a home game, even though it will be played at Providence Park (7pm PT, ROOT SPORTS). Due in large part to the quarantine requirements Canada’s government has put in place for people entering the country, road games in Canada for U.S.-based teams are impractical; at least, they’re impractical if your league’s schedule can’t allow for two-week quarantine periods. As a result, all of the Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and the Whitecaps are taking up temporary residences in the U.S., with Vancouver playing their next home games in Portland.
With strong recent play at the fore, Timbers aim for more consistency as Vancouver approaches: "We need to be aware the whole 90 minutes"
