The Portland Timbers are set to take on FC Dallas for the second time this season. Both teams will be shorthanded due to international call ups and both having just ended a rough patch with a win in their last match. Portland get to host this test of depth as two of the top Western Conference sides fight to keep their recent momentum going.
Both teams will want to secure 3 points as they try to climb back to the top of the table. Portland ended a 5 game winless streak with their 2-0 home victory over San Jose.
