This matchup will see Orlando City SC out of the Eastern Conference take on the Portland Timbers out of the Western Conference.
Orlando City SC
Orlando City is still well within playoff contention, but will need to pick up points on the road. They have 25 points on the season, just 4 points behind New York City FC, who is in 7th. Orlando City is a decent road team, posting three wins and three draws in their ten games.
The Orlando City attack has been good at times this season. They have scored 28 goals in total. They average 1.20 goals on the road as well. One key note is their leading scorer, Nani, is questionable with food poisoning. Dom Dwyer is another guy out in this game, but he is suspended. If Nani is not able to go, Orlando City will really struggle to find the back of the net and that is where things could go south.

The Orlando City defense has been decent this season and even kept a clean sheet in their last match. They allow an average of just 1 goal per game when away from home. This could be a huge bonus because Portland plays much better in front of their home fans. If Orlando can hold Portland under two goals, they will have a chance to get points.
Portland Timbers
The Timbers played to a 2-2 draw with Colorado this past weekend. This was a disappointing result because they were at home, where they play much better. They now are sitting in 10th with 24 points. They are only 5 points behind the last playoff spot as it stands, so they must get a positive result here.

The Portland attack was able to grab two goals in their last match, but the defending was shaky. Their attack has now averaged 2.25 goals per game at home, while the defending has allowed 1.25 goals per game. After a few rough matches recently, the Timbers should be able to pick up three points.
