Portland Timbers team news

Goalkeeper James Pantemis, left-back Jimer Fory, and centre-backs Zac McGraw and Dario Zuparic are all nursing their respective injuries, possibly opening the door for Juan David Mosquera, Finn Surman, Kamal Miller and Ian Smith to start in front of Maxime Crepeau in goal.

Additionally, Felipe Carballo and Jonathan Rodriguez also remain sidelined by injuries, while Matias Rojas is a doubt.

San Diego FC team news

Right-back duo Oscar Verhoeven and Leo Duru are concerns, so Aiden Harangi is likely to start.

Offensively, with Anisse Saidi and Marcus Ingvartsen sidelined through injuries, Corey Baird will be supported by Anders Dreyer and Hirving Lozano on the wings.
