Still seeking to get their 2022 season off the ground, the Portland Timbers host the Colorado Rapids in a key Western Conference home match. The Timbers (3-6-7, 16 points) sit just a point above the Western Conference basement. The Rapids (5-6-4, 19 points) have also sputtered in their 2022 season thus far, and sit a point below the playoff line.

Storylines So Far

Colorado, last year’s Western Conference regular season champs, have had a very uneven time since they last met the Timbers. Since beating Portland 2-0 in Colorado on April 30, the Rapids have won just twice in their next following six fixtures.
