Player to watch: James Pantemis

James Pantemis is usually option number 2 under the sticks for his manager, but this week, he will be a starter for Portland Timbers. Crepeau is still taking part in the Copa America with Canada, leaving a can’t-miss chance in front of Pantemis.

Second player to watch: Sam Surridge

The man who managed to outscore almighty Mukhtar is the second player to watch in our Portland Timbers vs Nashville predictions. Surridge bagged seven goals for his manager this season. Surely, he has a place among the starters for Nashville.
