We said: Sporting Kansas City 1-3 Portland Timbers

 The Timbers are unbeaten in their last five matches against SKC, and while we do not expect this game to be entirely as one-sided as their earlier encounter this year, in which Portland won 7-2, the home side have been poor defensively, allowing multiple goals in five straight games, something we think will hamper them in this fixture.
