Welcome back everyone.
Similar to last weekend against Minnesota, the Vancouver Whitecaps will have an opportunity to take crucial points off of a Western Conference rival when visiting the Portland Timbers this upcoming Sunday night at Providence Park.
The Timbers currently sit one point above Vancouver, 9th in the West on 26 points, with both teams level in terms of matches played. Back on April 10th, the Timbers took all three points at BC Place with a 3-2 victory. The Timbers are undefeated in their last five matches and coming off of a huge road win in Cascadia over the Seattle Sounders.
