Portland Timbers team news

Santiago Moreno is yet to recover from a muscle injury that the midfielder sustained late last season, while Jonathan Rodriguez and Dario Zuparic occupy the treatment room with knee injuries.

Besides, Kamal Miller will be suspended after being sent off in the game against the Whitecaps. So, Eric Miller will be expected to slot in at the back.

Austin team news

Having picked up a leg injury during pre-season, Bryant Farkarlun continues on his road to recovery.

Ghanaian winger Osman Bukari will be one of the main threats in attack for the visitors, while Owen Wolff and Brandon Vazquez lead the line.
