Currently the Portland Timbers are in first place in the Western Conference, and a win tonight could help the Timbers stay in the top spot going into decision day. They will be welcoming the Colorado Rapids to the corner of 18th and Morrison for the first of two final matches this year.
Timbers bring a 5-3-2 home record into tonight's game while the Rapids are holding on to the seventh playoff spot in the West. Their PPG is 1.38 and the team above them is FC Dallas at 1.55 ppg, so I’m pretty sure that no matter what the Rapids will finish in seventh place.
