Portland Timbers Briefly

Manager Phil Neville, if he can decipher this Real Salt Lake side and maybe get the best of their starting eleven, will look forward to a much-needed win.

As they state, there’s no tomorrow, and for both sides, this game is a must-win for both teams on the field. We can certainly expect an all-around contest.

Nothing gained as the Portland Timbers are looking forward to a must-win at home against a lucky Real Salt Lake, as the visitors will be looking for an upset in Portland after the Vancouver Whitecaps did the same to the Timbers last season.

That was then, and now we are looking forward to a new postseason series as the Portland Timbers are looking forward to becoming victors in this edition of the playoffs.

Everyone is healthy and looking forward to making an impact, and with a win, the Timber would advance to faee San Diego F.C.

This is it, no turning back for these Portland Timbers, putting everything on the line and ready to prove what they are made of!

Real Salt Lake Briefly

Time for truth for both sides looking to advance to the next stages in the always contested postseason as well for RSL manager Pablo Mastreoni.

RSL barely made it into the postseason and now are on the brink of the wildcard match come Wednesday on Providence Park.

However, we believe that this team can play against anyone and can deliver an odd score against anyone as this team can spring surprises and put any team to shame, but nothing is written in the end.  

Foreword

Time of truth for both sides as this is a one-game series, and both sides need a win to advance.
