The Timbers are coming off a four goal drubbing by LAFC; they played poorly and the results showed. Now, the Portland Timbers are headed into match three of a 12-match road trip and maybe there’s a reprieve on the horizon? The Timbers take a trip to Cincinnati to take on MLS’ newest club FC Cincinnati, in what will be FCC’s home opener.
FCC is coming off their first MLS point as they drew defending MLS champs Atlanta United 1-1. With the confidence of being able to hang with the best, they’ll be looking to notch three points at home in front of what should be a sell out crowd at Nippert Stadium.
