Player to watch: Maxime Crepeau

Goalkeeper-in-chief Maxime Crepeau is no longer injured and we expect him to be among the starters for the visitors this week. The former Los Angeles star is one of the Timbers’ finest. If he doesn’t prove our Colorado Rapids vs Portland Timbers predictions correct, no one will.

Second player to watch: David Da Costa

Attacking midfielder David Da Costa is equally capable of scoring and creating. Since the start of the 2025 MLS season, he has managed to score once and provide a teammate with an assist.
