Portland Timbers and Orlando City meet at Providence Park in this fifth round clash in the MLS. The home team are in ninth position with five points in the Western Conference while the visitors are in fifth position in the Eastern Conference with seven points. Portland have struggled this season with only one win in their first four matches and will need an immediate improvement if they are to reach the lofty heights of last season when they lost in the final. They started this season with two draws and a win but suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat in their last match against Dallas. It is still early in the season but Portland will be weary that winning their home matches is a priority if they want to make the playoffs. They are undefeated in their last two matches against Orlando City.

Orlando City have had a mixed bag of results with two wins, a draw and a loss. They had an excellent 1-0.win in their last match away to Los Angeles Galaxy. They are yet to lose on the road winning and drawing their two matches. Orlando City have failed to win on their last three visits to Portland with their last victory there coming in 2015. In their last five away matches stretching back to last season, Orlando have lost three and only won one. They have the second best defensive record in the Conference having only conceded two goals in their four matches.
