Preview
Portland Timbers and Atlanta United meet at Providence Park, in a match for the 0ª round of the MLS. In 3 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 1 and tied 2. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 09‑12‑2018, and ended in a (2‑0) win by Atlanta United. Atlanta United registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Portland

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home win by (3‑2) against Chicago Fire. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. For the league, Portland Timbers won 17 points out of 24 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 8 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 7 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 13 of their 24 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The season presented by the Portland Timbers is made up of swings and logically aims to curb it. Therefore, it should focus on the search for consistency and homogeneity within the four lines. In a game like this they will need to be smart and show more qualified football because there will be no ease. On the pitch they will need to mark very well and at the same time impose themselves as they need a favorable result to continue fighting for a spot in the playoff zone. In this match Jeff Attinella and Marco Farfan will be out for being in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Steve Clark, Julio Cascante, Jorge Moreira, Jorge Villafaña, Renzo Zambrano, Sebastian Blanco, Bill Tuiloma, Diego Valeri, Diego Chará, Jeremy Ebobisse, Brian Fernández.
Coach: P. Neville.

Analysis Atlanta United

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home win by (2‑1) against New York City. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins and 10 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 9 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Atlanta United has a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 6 losses in the last away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 25 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 21 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

It's no surprise that we see Atlanta United at the top of the table, after all that was their goal. The goal is to stay that way, but not only that, if they can grow up and take the lead in the conference it will be even better. For this to happen they need to have more objectivity and efficiency throughout the rounds to maintain a regular competition. If they have a sequence of good results the chances of achieving what they want increases significantly. In this match Kevin Kratz, Brek Shea, Brandon Vazquez and Josef Martinez will be out for being in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Brad Guzan, Florentin Pogba, Miles Robinson, Leandro Gonzalez Pirez, Justin Meram, Darlington Nagbe, Ezequiel Barco, Gonzalo Martínez, Jeff Larentowicz, Julian Gressel, Josef Martínez.
Coach: G. Pineda Reyes.
