Preview
Portland and Houston face at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex Field 17, in a match of the MLS. The head‑to‑head history indicates total balance, since there is a record of 3 draws and 3 wins for each team in the last 9 matches. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 23‑06‑2019, and ended in a (4‑0) win by Portland Timbers. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Portland

This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. Portland has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In the last 8 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (46'‑60'); they have conceded 5 of their 9 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The victory of the debut was very important for Portland Timbers, even more knowing that this stage is short. Their idea is to once again win, as they will be practically guaranteeing their qualification. They should have respect for their opponent, but they know that they have the ability to score three points. Therefore, if they repeat the good performance of the last round, they will have good conditions to leave the field with a satisfactory score.

Confirmed Lineup: Steve Clark, Larrys Mabiala, Pablo Bonilla Serrada, Jorge Villafaña, Diego Chará, Diego Valeri, Eryk Williamson, Bill Tuiloma, Sebastian Blanco, Jeremy Ebobisse, Yimmi Chará.
Coach: P. Neville.

Analysis Houston

This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 1 draw and 13 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 42 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Houston has won 1, tied 1 and lost 8. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 10 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

Of course, Houston Dynamo cannot complain about the draw of the first round, but there is a bitter taste for being ahead on the scoreboard at one point. The ideal is to correct their mistakes and show an evolution in relation to the previous match, as they will need a positive score. Again there will be difficulties ahead, but it will all depend on the football they are presenting. Therefore, playing with attitude and efficiency, the probability of winning will be greater.

Confirmed Lineup: Marko Marić, Aljaž Struna, Adam Lundqvist, Maynor Figueroa, Zarek Valentin, Boniek García, Matías Vera, Memo Rodríguez, Darwin Quintero, Mauro Manotas, Alberth Elis.
Coach: B. Olsen.
