Portland Timbers Briefly
What a season the Portland Timbers and their manager, Phil Neville, are having. With an odd streak ahead of them and struggling lately with back-to-back losses, the Rose City side is looking a bit nervous despite the arrival of Aravena in the starting lineup.
Little he could do, as the Chilean is looking forward to more eventful evenings and to delivering with pleasure in the upcoming matches; but in the end, a loss is a loss.
If the Portland Timbers bounce back, maybe they can deliver with wins and bring back the team to its place where it counts. Still, the team may really be able to bring it back with wins, but in the end, can they bounce back a question that still lingers in the air.
Can they really bring back that winning feeling? There’s one way to find out, and this team really needs to step up its winning spirit back to life as the season is still in its early stages, and there are plenty of matches ahead in the end.
Can the Portland Timbers bounce back? That’s an interesting question in the end.

Houston Dynamo Briefly
It has not been easy for Ben Olsen in his third year at the helm of the Dynamo, very well looking forward to its first shield with the club,
Still, the man is busy at work, and despite the number of players in the offseason, the team hasn’t been able to deliver with positive results.
Is the season in its early stages or what? That’s the question that lingers in the air, and manager Olsen hasn’t been able to deliver results after the team brought important players to the Dynamo from abroad!
As both sides are struggling in these early stages, the team can really deliver with wins and with the advantage playing at home, maybe the team can deliver a win at home; this is a strong possibility. The arrivals of Franco Negri, Mateusz Bogusz, Agustín Bouzat, Guilherme, Héctor Herrera, and Antônio Carlos.
Forecast
Can the Dynamo deliver a win at home and bring misery to the Portland Timbers on the road!
