The Portland Timbers (6-13-6) host the Colorado Rapids (8-16-2) tonight at Jeld-Wen Field. Kick off is at 7:51 p.m.
The match will be broadcast live on NBC Sports Network, 750 AM The Game, and La Pantera 940 AM.
Portland aims to maintain form in this battle of the Western Conference cellar dwellers. After an inspiring Cascadia Cup victory over Vancouver last weekend, do the Timbers have enough in them to beat the second worst team this Friday?
Portland was embarrassed by Colorado 3-0 back in June, but neither team has been very successful this year. The Timbers, with 24 points, find themselves at the very bottom of the standings. Colorado has 26 points, and are only one spot higher. The Timbers are, however, coming off an entertaining and crucial Cascadia Cup win over Vancouver, and could string together a couple bright spots this season if they get a win tonight.
