Match preview

Will Portland Timbers climb above the Western Conference play-off line?

Last weekend, they came from behind to hold Cascadia Cup rivals Vancouver to a 1-1 draw at Providence Park.

Felipe Mora firing home from the penalty spot; Portland are the first team in MLS to score a spot-kick in five consecutive fixtures.

More importantly, Giovanni Savarese’s side are now unbeaten in six, getting them right back into play-off contention.

That’s not so much the case for San Jose Earthquakes who are down in 13th.

Alex Covelo’s team beat LA Galaxy in the Cali Clásico ten days ago, but followed that up by losing 2-1 at home to Houston.

This saw the Quakes mini-unbeaten run of three come to an end.

Thus, despite the fact both are inconsistent, a home win seems the most likely outcome.
