Welcome back to your Stumptown Footy prediction thread! It’s rivalry time!
Last week, the Portland Timbers went on the road to earn their third-straight draw and extend their unbeaten streak to nine games in league play. Of the draws in 2018, this was the best, since it was away to the Supporter’s Shield leading Atlanta United. The Timbers put in the first goal when Larry’s Mabiala followed up a Samuel Armenteros deflection that was saved by Atlanta keeper Brad Guzan. Unfortunately, the Timbers were never going to hold Atlanta scoreless at the Benz, and the home side broke through during a scramble in the Timbers box.
