Portland Timbers host Colorado Rapids at Providence Park, Portland, OR on Sunday, Oct 18 at 4:30 AM in the MLS.
Portland Timbers come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Colorado Rapids, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Portland Timbers head into this on the back of a defeat, while Colorado Rapids arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Portland Timbers here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Colorado Rapids, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Portland Timbers won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Portland Timbers a slight edge, but Colorado Rapids are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
