The Portland Timbers kick things off early today as they face off against the Vancouver Whitecaps up in British Columbia. With both sides below the red line so far this season, both the Timbers and the Whitecaps will be looking to move up the standings today.
More than just moving up the table, however, this is a Cascadia Cup match between two rival sides. With the Timbers having raised the MLS Cup at the end of last season, the Whitecaps are the only Cascadian side without any major hardware since making the move to MLS and will be coming out with something to prove against the champs.
