After two very different 2-2 draws over the past week, the Vancouver Whitecaps dive headlong this Saturday into a crucial Cascadia clash against the Portland Timbers at Providence Park.
Just like NYCFC last weekend, the Portland Timbers are undefeated at home this season with a record of 7-0-3 following a decisive victory over the Philadelphia Union last Saturday. Portland could not be in better form at the moment, undefeated in their last 15 league games, tied for the sixth-longest such streak in MLS history and the longest since the Red Bulls went 18 straight unbeaten from July 2016 to March 2017.
