Preview: Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes
The team from Oregon got only 47 points last season (and the same number was taken by Vancouver Whitecaps). As a result, the rivals met in a wild card match, and the Canadians left no chance, winning with a 5-0 score. However, the current guests from California were the worst in the entire MLS: 6 wins and a measly number of 21 points.
Bruce Arena was called in to fix the state of things. Being under the leadership of an experienced coach, San Jose has noticeably improved the performance. There were even 8 matches in a row without defeat, taking into account the success in the Open Cup. As for St. Louis City, the club lost in the previous meeting. Phil Neville’s wards seemed to have lost momentum in May after a slow start: they failed to win 3 times in a row in the MLS and were knocked out by Timbers in the Open Cup. The previous round brought a success – the team beat St. Louis City with a 2-1 result.
