Timbers to Host Whitecaps in MLS Wild Card Match

News summary

The Vancouver Whitecaps are set to face the Portland Timbers in a Western Conference wild-card match after finishing eighth, despite a seven-game winless streak. Due to a venue conflict, the match will be held in Portland instead of Vancouver. The Timbers, coming off a 1-1 draw against the Seattle Sounders, claimed the Cascadia Cup and secured a playoff spot, but have struggled offensively in recent matches. Vancouver coach Vanni Sartini remains optimistic despite recent losses, citing positive moments in their recent 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake. Portland, led by Antony's recent goals, will host their first home playoff game since 2021, aiming to leverage the momentum from their recent performances. The Whitecaps, previously in a strong position, now face a precarious playoff journey due to their recent slump.
