FC Dallas team news

FC Dallas have struggled in recent weeks, coming off a 4-3 loss to New York City FC and languishing near the bottom of the conference. The squad has been inconsistent all season, scoring frequently but also conceding in nearly every match.

Most regular starters are expected to be available, with no major new injury concerns reported. Dallas will need standout performances from Prince Owusu and creative link play from midfield to break down Portland’s improving backline.

Portland Timbers team news

Portland Timbers arrive after an unbeaten stretch of four matches before a penalty defeat to Club America in the Leagues Cup. Their league form has elevated them into playoff contention, fueled by a revitalized attack and defensive organization.

The Timbers have typically traveled well this season and boast a healthy squad, with first-choice starters likely to lead the line at Toyota Stadium.
