After a rough pair of 2-1 road losses, the Portland Timbers are returning home to the cozy confines of Providence Park today to take on Eastern Conference side New York City FC. The visitors are coming to town on a three game undefeated streak and have outscored their opposition 5-2 in their last two matches.
To get a feel for this team from far-away lands, we talked to Jake Gofman of Hudson River Blue, SB Nation's NYCFC site, and he was kind enough to answer our questions about the side.
