More Portland Timbers Coverage
After a rough road loss to Houston the Timbers travel to Livestrong Stadium where Sporting Kansas City have only lost once this year. The Timbers have struggled on the road, only picking up one road win so far this season, but they will need to find a way to come out on top if they want to make the swiftly approaching playoffs.
