The Portland Timbers today host Minnesota United FC in the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Kick off is slated for 2:30 PST in Providence Park. The Timbers come into the match in good form. They won their previous three matches and capped the regular season off with a 3-0 drumming of Austin FC. The Timbers are fully healthy and in good spirits heading into the playoffs.
Minnesota United, on the other hand, may be in good spirits after a thrilling 3-3 draw with LA Galaxy on Decision Day but only have one win in their last five matches.
