The Union head to Portland hoping to secure points at Providence Park for the first time in eight years when they face the Timbers.
Holding a one-point lead atop the Eastern Conference, the Union make the trek west in hopes of getting their first win in six tries away against the Timbers. The Union have managed just one point in five previous visits, stemming from a 1-1 draw in 2014. The Timbers have stumbled out of the blocks this season, managing just three wins in 13 matches so far.

The defense has been stellar for Union as they lead the league with only nine goals conceded through 12 matches, led by veteran goalkeeper Andre Blake who has posted five clean sheets this season.
The Union’s scoreless draw with Inter Miami on Wednesday ended a run of 25 straight MLS matches with a goal (including playoffs), the longest streak in club history. It’s been over four years since the Union have been shut out in consecutive games in a single season, last doing so in early May 2018.
Portland owns just one victory in their last six matches, a 7-2 thrashing of Sporting Kansas City on May 14.
Both Nathan Fogaça and Sebastián Blanco scored a pair of goals in the win after the opener by Bill Tuiloma. Tuiloma has scored goals in consecutive matches for the first time in his career and has netted as many goals this season as he has had in his four previous MLS seasons combined.
Philadelphia has recorded a draw in five straight MLS matches and a draw today would make Union the fourth team in MLS history to play six straight regular-season draws last done by Chicago Fire in 2014.
