Philadelphia Union and Portland Timbers face each other at Talen Energy Stadium in what is expected to be a close MLS encounter. The U’s have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in the Major League Soccer. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous five league fixtures. Brazil international Ilson should be the only absentee in the home team.
Portland Timbers, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back wins over San Jose Earthquakes and Los Angeles Galaxy. Considering that the visitors look solid at the back as well, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Talen Energy Stadium. Chile international Felipe Mora should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the triumph over LA Galaxy, with injured attacker Andy Polo dropping to the bench.
