Houston is battling for home field advantage, while Portland might risk being eliminated from the playoffs. Both teams have something to gain from this matchup. It's challenging to support Houston in this away game given how much worse they've performed on the road than they have at home. Portland, meanwhile, has turned their season around and has been one of the league's hottest teams down the stretch. With three points in this match, I expect the host team to earn automatic qualification to the MLS Cup Playoffs. Portland Timbers will win against Houston Dynamo, according to my forecast.
