Portland Timbers grabbed a lifeline in Game 2 of their best-of-three series against San Diego to force a third game in the MLS Cup playoffs. San Diego hosts Game 3 on Monday with the tie balanced at 1-1. Read on for our prediction of the match.
The opening encounter in the series ended in a 2-1 win for San Diego. Portland had to finish with 10 men following Fory Jimer’s quickfire second-half yellow cards.
Portland were forced to seek a late leveler in Game 2 at home after losing their early lead. A 2-2 draw took it to penalties, where the hosts prevailed. With three wins in their last four matches, San Diego will feel confident about this game.
Portland will welcome Jimer back from suspension in the buildup to the third game. The Timbers have the underdog feel in them coming here.
They posted just one win in regular time in their last eight matches, and in the process they lost four. Portland have also been let down by a porous defence, and the same has been seen in the current playoffs.
Phil Neville’s side has conceded 10 goals in the last five outings. It is a particularly sad state for Portland on the road, as they have no wins in the last nine outings.
