Recent form
Portland Timbers
The Portland Timbers are currently sitting in 3rd position in the league table, having collected 7 points from their first 4 games of the season. Their recent form has been mixed, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 6 matches across all competitions. The Timbers have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 70% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals and an average of 2.83 total goals per match. They recently suffered a run of three consecutive defeats, but bounced back with an impressive 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids on February 25th, their highest-scoring game in this period. However, they were unable to build on that win, losing 1-0 to Houston Dynamo in their most recent league fixture.
Philadelphia Union
Philadelphia Union's recent form has been mixed, with a series of draws in both Major League Soccer and the CONCACAF Champions League. They have managed to avoid defeats in five out of their last six games, but their only loss was a heavy 6-0 defeat against Pachuca in the Champions League. The Union's league position of 13th after three games suggests a slow start to the MLS season. Their goal-scoring record has been inconsistent, with two high-scoring 3-3 draws against Austin and Deportivo Saprissa, but also three goalless draws. Defensively, the team has struggled, conceding an average of two goals per game over the last six matches, with the 6-0 loss to Pachuca being a particular low point.
