Prediction

  • Who would have thought a week ago that this matchup would feature two of the best-performing sides on matchday one? Both teams won in dominant performances, 4-1 respectively. Thanks to tremendous play from Eryk Williamson (POR) in his debut match from serious injury and a hat-trick from DC's Christian Benteke, both teams are riding a high into matchday two. Portland gets to stay at home for the second consecutive match, while DC has to make the cross-country trip which could be the difference.
