The Timbers are coming off an acceptable result in New England that ended at 2-2. Lawrence Olum picked up his first goal of the season and Julio Cascante picked up his first MLS assist. After one game on the road, the Timbers return to the friendly confines of Providence Park to take on the Colorado Rapids.
The Rapids are coming off a bye week after getting pasted by Real Salt Lake 6-0. At this point, they’re just playing out the rest of the season with no real hope of making the playoffs.
