Two teams in contrasting form will meet at PayPal Park on Saturday evening when the San Jose Earthquakes take on the Portland Timbers. This is also a game between teams at opposite ends of the Western Conference table, with the Timbers flying high in second. Meanwhile, Saturday's hosts find themselves outside of the all-important postseason spots, thanks largely to a recent run of bad results. Last weekend, the Earthquakes failed to knock down the Crew, losing for the third game straight.
In contrast, the Timbers picked up another three points in typically explosive style, beating the Los Angeles Galaxy away from home by four goals to two, scoring multiple goals for the third game in a row. We've now seen Phil Neville's men go seven games unbeaten, four of which they've won. After winning each of their last two on the road, they ought to turn up at PayPal Park feeling confident.
