Portland Timbers team news and form: Phil Neville has to decide
There are plenty of Timbers players who won’t take part in this game. We are talking about famous Zac McGraw, Antony, Ariel Lassiter, and 31-year-old goalscorer Jonathan Rodriguez. However, it’s fair to say that the English manager has plenty of top-quality players to choose from.

Player to watch: James Pantemis
James Pantemis deserves to be the player to watch in our professional Portland Timbers vs New England prediction, as he somehow managed to dethrone partner-in-crime Maxime Crepeau from his goalkeeping throne.
Pantemis owes his colleagues a favour
Portland Timbers conceded three goals in their previous Major League Soccer game, and it’s fair to say Pantemis is to blame. Yes, he did make four saves against Toronto, but he should’ve still done better to keep the ball away from his net.
