We said: Colorado Rapids 2-1 Portland Timbers

With just four points separating the two sides in the conference table, we anticipate an end-to-end affair this weekend as both sides look to put together a string run of form entering into the season's run-in. However, the Rapids have been tough to crack at the Dick's Sporting Goods Park this season and we are tipping them to snap their winless run against Neville's men. Read more.
