The Portland Timbers need a point from their final MLS regular season game to be assured of a top seven Western Conference finish and an automatic postseason place. Standing in their way will be a San Diego outfit looking to maintain their second place position in the table.

A defeat for Portland, coupled with a victory for Dallas against Vancouver, would see Phil Neville's side drop into the Wild Card places. Unfortunately for the Timbers, they are currently in their worst run of the season and have now gone four games without picking up a victory. 

San Diego secured a dramatic 2-4 victory in Houston last week, thanks to late strikes from Anders Dreyer and Amahl Pellegrino. That victory ended a three game winless run for San Diego, a sequence that scuppered their hopes of claiming the Western Conference title.

Our Portland Timbers vs San Diego FC Prediction

This is a huge game for the Timbers and we are tipping them to gain the point they need to secure a top seven finish. 

San Diego are clearly the superior outfit, but they have been wildly inconsistent over the last two months, making them very difficult to trust, especially on the road. 

This is bound to be a nervy affair given what's at stake, but backed by a partisan home crowd, Portland should have enough to get the job done...just.

Our prediction for Portland Timbers vs San Diego FC is: Draw and both teams to score.
