THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps. That defeat did come the weekend after a CONCACAF Champions League second-leg victory over Marathon so physical and mental distraction could’ve affected Portland. They come up against a Houston Dynamo side that come into this on the back of a 2-1 victory over San Jose Earthquakes in which they created lots more chances than their opponents but had just 39% of the ball. Given that one team has now had a free midweek and the other team doesn’t want the ball, the home team should look to dominate and will come in as slight favourites.
