Current form: Dallas vs Portland Timbers
Dallas ended the regular season with three straight losses, meaning that the hosts have not won a game since beating Orlando City 2-0 on October 6th. It goes without saying that Oscar Pareja's side will be hoping to shake off that bad run of form as they welcome Portland Timbers, who they drew both home and away during the 34-game campaign.
Their downward slide, though, cost them the top spot in the Western Conference, and had they managed to beat Colorado Rapids on Decision Day, they could have likely finished in at least second place in their division; now, instead of automatically heading to the semi-finals of the MLS Cup they will have to battle with Portland Timbers for a chance to face Seattle Sounders next week.
Portland Timbers, meanwhile rebounded after a scoreless draw with Dallas to beat Real Salt Lake, both home and away by an aggregate score of 7-1. That helped Timbers climb the table into fifth spot and put them in contention for a playoff berth, but unfortunately, Giovanni Savarese's side ended up losing 2-1 to a Vancouver Whitecaps led by Bayern Munich-bound Alphonso Davies.
Current position: Dallas vs Portland Timbers
As things stand, Dallas sit in fourth spot in the Western Conference with 57 points, while their upcoming opponents Portland Timbers are exactly three points behind in fifth place. Both teams suffered losses on Decision Day. In Dallas's case, their 2-1 defeat to Colorado Rapids caused them to drop down to fourth spot. As for Portland, they also were on the wrong end of a 2-1 score-line against Vancouver Whitecaps, but nonetheless finished the regular season in fifth place.
