Scouting Chicago Fire at Portland Timbers

Chicago Fire at Portland Timbers

When: 6 p.m. at Jeld-Wen Field

TV: Galavision.

Scouting the Fire: The Fire (4-2-3, 15 points) is undefeated in its last three matches and four of its last five. Midfielder Marco Pappa will make his 100th appearance for the club. Dominic Oduro leads the Fire with 4 goals.

Scouting the Portland Timbers: The Timbers (2-5-3, 9 points) haven’t scored in their last three MLS matches, and their defense will be shorthanded due to the suspension of Mamadou Danso. Still, Portland is one of the toughest places to play in MLS. Darlington Nagbe and Kris Boyd have 3 goals apiece.

Next: FC Dallas, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Toyota Park
