Player to watch: James Pantemis
Maxime Crepeau is out there playing for Canada in the Copa America, while James Pantemis is making the most out of the chances he is getting. However, James didn’t perform that well against Minnesota United last week, as he conceded two goals from only four shots on target.
Second player to watch: Felipe Mora
Striker Mora is another player to watch in our Dallas vs Portland Timbers predictions, as he’s the visitors’ key finisher this season. Mora found the net on nine occasions, which definitely means he will be a starter for the Timbers on the 5th of July.
