In my opinion Portland have really good chances to make 3 points in today's match up.

It's extremely important match for league table because both teams are involved in fight to get promotion into play off zone. Portland have big mental advantage because they were able to win against Vancouver on away 3 months ago.

Portland is in great form - they didn't lost in last 5 consecutive matches. In last round they won 3:0 on away against Seattle and that was fully deserved result after high quality performance. For sure team is full of confidence and wants to go with momentum today. Portland have one new absence before today's match: central midfielder Williamson is suspended, but he is not the most important player or something like that, he is replaceable.

On the other hand Vancouver have extremely big squad problems, they coming for this game without first goalkeeper Hasal, second goalkeeper Cropper, key defenders Brown, Godinho and Gutierrez and key midfielders Caicedo and Berhalter. It's huge blow for the team and should have very bad impact on their performance today.

Vancouver lost 7 of 10 away matches in current season so far and on those circumstances I see big possiblity of another loss for them today.

在我看来，开拓者有很好的机会在今天的比赛中得到三分。

这对排名表来说是一场极其重要的比赛，因为两支球队都在为晋级而战。开拓者有很大的心理优势，因为他们能够在3个月前客场战胜温哥华。

波特兰现在状态很好，他们最近5场比赛都没有输。上一轮他们客场3:0战胜西雅图，这是他们高质量表现后应得的结果。毫无疑问，今天的球队充满了信心，并希望保持势头。在今天的比赛之前，开拓者有一个新的缺阵:中场核心威廉姆森停赛，但他不是最重要的球员或类似的，他是可替代的。

另一方面，温哥华队的阵容也有很大的问题，他们在本场比赛中没有第一门将哈萨尔，第二门将克罗珀，主力后卫布朗，戈迪尼奥和古铁雷斯，主力中场凯塞多和伯霍尔特。这对球队是一个巨大的打击，应该会对他们今天的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。

到目前为止，温哥华在本赛季的10场客场比赛中输掉了7场，在这种情况下，我认为他们今天很有可能再输一次。
