Player to watch: Indiana Vassilev
St. Louis City are only a couple of points above the bottom of the table in the Western Conference. If our Portland Timbers vs St. Louis City predictions succeed, it would be because Vassilev had a good game on the 25th of August. He is one of the top finishers for his team, with three goals scored already.
Second player to watch: Jonathan Rodriguez
Unlike Vassilev, Rodriguez is enjoying double digits. He slid it past the goalkeepers on 12 occasions and we are convinced he’d be among the starters for his manager at Providence Park.
