MLS has already defined four playoff spots within the Western Conference; however, there are some teams like Portland Timbers that haven’t clinched their playoff spot. With this context in mind, the Timbers will face a very tough on the road game against Vancouver Whitecaps next Wednesday night, a game in which Portland is expected to struggle due to the Whitecaps’ solid performance throughout the season.
Additionally, it must be noted that Portland Timbers lost a three-game non-losing streak after their most recent loss to Houston Dynamo (1-0), a key game in which the Timbers were expected to prove their competitiveness. It’s also worth noting that Portland has scored more than one goal in only two of their last five games, making them the second worst offense among the teams still competing for the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Vancouver Whitecaps have managed to keep competing for the top spot in Western Conference throughout the season, and even though they’re currently sitting in the second place, the Whitecaps have played two fewer games than San Diego FC. Given these factors, Vancouver is expected to take advantage of their remaining home games to keep competing for the top spot, with their defense continuing its consistent performance.

Our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers Prediction
As can be seen, these teams are facing very different realities in the last part of the regular season, so Vancouver must take advantage of this situation to compete as hard as possible to stay at the top of the standings, despite not having remarkable players among the league’s goal top scorers.
In conclusion, reaching this part of the regular season with playoff possibilities should bring extra motivation to Portland Timbers, whose experience should remind them that the main objective is qualifying, as anything could happen in the playoffs regardless of the regular season performance. Therefore, the pick for Vancouver Whitecaps FC – Portland Timbers is: Highest Scoring Half – 2nd Half!
