The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 7 head‑to‑heads they won 2, tied 4 and lost 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the MLS, played on 26‑11‑2018, they tied (0‑0). Sporting KC 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 (1‑0) against Real Salt Lake. 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 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. For the league, Portland Timbers won 20 points out of 30 possible points, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 27 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times 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 imposes themselves as they need a favorable result to continue fighting for a spot in the playoff zone. In this match Julio Cascante, Cristhian Paredes, Zarek Valentin, Modou Jadama, Larrys Mabiala, Jeff Attinella and Marco Farfan will be out in the medical department.

Analysis Sporting KC

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home win by (1‑0) against Houston Dynamo. 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 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 30 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Sporting KC has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Sporting Kansas City's campaign is not the best, so it focuses on something better in Major League Soccer. Because of this, they aim to shift into higher gears in the championship, after all the regular season is approaching the end. When facing an opponent with similar interests they need to be more careful because they don't want to have a bad score. Therefore, they should show a lot of attitude during the ninety minutes if they want to approach something positive. Right now the ideal would be to add the three points and fight hard for them. In this match Adrian Zendejas and Rodney Wallace will be out because they are in the medical department.
