Portland Timbers team news and form: Timbers with goalkeeping difficulties
Pantemis will be the one under the sticks for coach Neville, but we will see if he will be able to fill in the Crepeau-shaped hole at the back. Pantemis did a good job against Vancouver Whitecaps. Let’s see if he can duplicate that result.
Predicted lineup: Pantemis (GK), Mosquera, McGraw, Zuparic, Bravo, Chara, Ayala, Rodriguez, Evander, Moreno & Mora

Minnesota United team news and form: Dotson out
Dotson saw the red in the previous Major League Soccer match for Minnesota United, but we believe coach Ramsay has enough quality players at his disposal. Clint Irwin will be among the starters for the visitors, which is surely a plus in favor of our Portland Timbers vs Minnesota United predictions.
Predicted lineup: Irwin (GK), Boxall, Tapias, Arriaga, Trapp, Taylor, Clark, Rosales, Lod, Jeong & Hlongwane

Player to watch: James Pantemis
We have James Pantemis as the player to watch in our Portland Timbers vs Minnesota United prediction, as this is an incredible chance for the Timbers’ backup shot-stopper. Maxime Crepeau is occupied with his international duty for Canada, which means it’s up to Pantemis to keep a clean sheet.
Second player to watch: Tani Oluwaseyi
Tani is the leading goalscorer for Minnesota United this season. This is impressive considering the fact that we have an iconic finisher such as Teemu Pukki on Minnesota’s roster.
