Portland Timbers team news and form: The Timbers on the rise

Antony and David Ayala scored the winners for the Timbers in their quest against St. Louis City last week. Zac McGraw and 31-year-old Jonathan Rodriguez will not play for coach Neville, so it will be interesting to see who the English coach will deem worthy to fill in the gaps.

Predicted lineup: Pantemis (GK), Miller, Mosquera, Zuparic, Fory, Ayala, Ortiz, Moreno, Costa, Antony & Kelsy

San Jose Earthquakes team news and form: Arena fixing Quakes’ issues

During the 2024 MLS campaign, the Quakes were at the bottom of the table. Now, with coach Bruce Arena in charge, the team is in eighth position. He, however, will have to find suitable replacements for injured Cristian Arango, Noel Buck, Niko Tsakiris, and DeJuan Jones.

Predicted lineup: Edwards Jr. (GK), Roberts, Romney, Floriani, Kaye, Lima, Fernandez, Ricketts, Bouda, Judd & Espinoza

Player to watch: Cristian Espinoza

Few are those who say Espinoza is not the most important player on the team. And sure, former Real Salt Lake City star Arango is the current top goalscorer, but we should point out that Espinoza himself also has four MLS goals under his belt this season.

Can the Argentine star do it?

Espinoza is the leading creator on the team. With six assists so far, the 30-year-old captain definitely has a reserved spot on coach Arena’s starting XI, and we are sure he will do his very best to disprove our essential Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes prediction.
