Team News

Vancouver
Portland
  • Jeevan Badwal is out with a knee injury.
  • Levonte Johnson is questionable with a knock.
  • Zac McGraw is questionable as he's dealing with a personal matter.
  • Miguel Araujo is questionable with a lower body issue.
  • Santiago Moreno is a doubt, but should see some minutes off the bench.

Prediction

  • Vancouver are the higher seed and earned home-field advantage. A Supercross event was scheduled for this weekend at BC Place, and they needed to bring in all the dirt to prepare during the week.
  • This means the match will take place at Providence Park in Portland, giving Portland a considerable advantage. It's a crazy situation that would only happen in Major League Soccer.
  • Both teams limped into the playoffs. Portland are winless in their last five matches, with four draws and a loss. Vancouver have the poorer form of the two, winless in their last six matches with five losses and a draw.
  • The quality of Evander and the Portland attack will be enough to edge Ryan Gauld and company in a close finish that could go to penalties.
