Timbers seek European push while San Diego fight survival
A clash of contrasting ambitions sees Portland chasing a European berth while San Diego scramble to secure their top-flight status.
Portland Timbers enter this fixture sitting 10th in the table, currently eight points adrift of the European qualification places with 27 games remaining. Their recent form has been encouraging, picking up three wins from their last five outings, though they will be looking to bounce back from a narrow 1-2 defeat away at Chicago Fire last time out.
San Diego find themselves in a more precarious position, 12th in the standings and just four points above the relegation zone. Survival is far from guaranteed, but they arrive with some confidence following a disciplined 1-0 away victory against Los Angeles FC and a hard-fought draw at Minnesota United.
