Having followed up their MLS Cup win in 2015 by missing the playoffs last season, the Portland Timbers find themselves in the middle of a six-way fight for five postseason spots in the Western Conference this year.
They visit BMO Field on Saturday on a three-match unbeaten run and having lost just one of their past seven games, though they have only won two. The Timbers boast a high-powered attack but have also struggled to keep goals out at the other end, and inconsistency has been the result.
We caught up with William Conwell of Stumptown Footy to find out more about the Timbers ahead of their meeting with Toronto FC.
