We said: Portland Timbers 1-1 Columbus Crew
While the Crew have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks, they have managed just one win in their last six outings. Portland Timbers head into the weekend in need of a morale-boosting result, but we predict that they will have to settle for a draw against a solid Columbus Crew side.How to watch
