Chicago Fire
Strangely enough, the Fire are still in playoff contention. they are 10th in the East but have 30 points on the year. They trail the 7th seed by just 3 points. They have just one win on the road this season. However, that one win came in their last away match.
The Fire attack was very good against the Impact as they scored three goals. The Fire are scoring 0.75 goals per game on the road, so this is a little concerning. In their last away match with Houston, they won 1-0, so there is hope they can score in Portland as well.

The Fire defense has not been good when playing away from home. They allow an average of 1.75 goals per game, so there is a good chance that they concede on the road. The key will be to limit Portland and hope that their attack can score to keep this game close.
Portland Timbers
The Timbers got a much needed 3-1 win last time out against a poor Vancouver team. They are now 8th in the West and have 34 points. The have four wins at home this season in seven games. They have won their last two home games in a row as well.

The attack showed up over the weekend as the Timbers were able to score three times. They are scoring an average of 2.43 goals per game when playing in Portland. Seeing that Portland can score anytime makes me believe this is a game where they could score two or three goals without issue.
The Timbers defending has been improving as of recently. Over their last five matches overall, they have allowed just three goals. The Fire are not a good team and the Timbers should have no problem shutting them down. If the Timbers allow a goal, it should only be one.
