The Portland Timbers are headed to Texas today to take on FC Dallas in a clash between the top teams in the Western Conference. With Dallas the sole unbeaten team in the league and perfect at home so far this year, the Timbers face their stiffest challenge yet as they strive to stay on top of the standings.
The Timbers will be without Jake Gleeson and Diego Valeri in today’s match, but regain the services of Fanendo Adi after his one game suspension has run out.
