Portland head to California in the midst of an eight-game unbeaten run, which includes their current four-game win streak.
The Timbers are a team in the ascendency and they are facing a foe that is spiraling - the LA Galaxy. It seems like Saturday should be a pretty straightforward Timbers win based on current form, right? I am kindly going to ask you to forget how long it has been since the Galaxy won or the Timbers lost. The reality is that form should not influence the way Portland approach this game for a few reasons. Yes, the Timbers are a team playing with confidence.
But it can sometimes be easy to overlook road games with a big home match coming up, as is the case for the Timbers with a home clash against Vancouver looming next Wednesday. The Galaxy have a -8 goal differential in their nine-game winless skid. The Timbers are flying high. In fact, the Galaxy actually have a positive expected goals differential over their past five matches 0.
Portland need to be sure they come out sharp in this game regardless of recent form. The Timbers entered Major League Soccer as an expansion club in and secured their first playoff berth in , advancing to their first Western Conference Championship after a first-place finish in the conference during the regular season.
The Timbers hoisted their first MLS Cup in to culminate an unforgettable playoff run that season. Just three years later, the Timbers again earned the right to contest for the league title under first-year head coach Giovanni Savarese, making their second appearance in MLS Cup in Portland Timbers ticket prices on the secondary market can vary depending on a number of factors.
Individual Portland Timbers tickets go on sale in February. Print-at-home tickets are being discontinued for MLS games. Portland Timbers are using mobile ticket entry to all games. Each MLS team has their own child ticket policy. Some teams have age requirements, others have restrictions on height and some have both.
A tifo is a choreographed large banner or series of banners displayed by fans at a sporting event. The referee blows his whistle and the game starts. Providence Park is electric with the chants and noise from its supporters, especially the Timbers Army. When the ball is smashed into the back of the net by the home side, somehow the fans get even louder.
Confetti rains down from the ski. Colored smoke bellows out of the North End. Then, the seemingly out-of-place roar of a chainsaw. Proudly displayed in front of the North End is a massive tree trunk. Timber Joey then walks around the stadium with the slab in tow, posing for pictures with fans or letting them touch the circular hunk of wood. He presents the slab to the respective goal scorer after the match. The final whistle blows.
Whether it was another Timbers win or a defeat, supporters filter out into the streets and local food and drink establishments. Timbers colors are still on display late into the night on game day. Just like the constant rain in the Rose City, Timbers fans are relentless.
