On Saturday, Portland Timbers is trying to continue the perfect road forms when they visit a San Jose earthquake side who thinks he's playing better than the results show.
Timbers (5-2-3, 18 points) have already won three times on the road, which is one of the reasons why they can create an unsatisfied run from seven games.
Recently, Antony, last Sunday Los Angeles Galaxy 4-2 wins with three different goals to three assists.
The three Away wins had at least three Timbers targets. And coach Phil Neville believes that success has become a mental advantage.
“Displacement performances and displacement games in this league are very difficult.” He said. “But it sounds like we raise our game a little further away from home. We play with a little more freedom than home with a little more freedom than home. So they enjoy this difficulty.”
Antony has four goals and five assists, and Felipe Mora and Kevin Kelsy scored four goals. Portland has 20 goals as a team – in connection with San Jose and Vancouver for league leadership – and 17 came in the last six matches.
In the meantime, earthquakes (3-6-1, 10 points), Saturday, Columbus Crew, including 2-1 defeat, including three loser.
Josef Martinez scored his sixth goal to even lead the team leadership with Cristian Arango. However, the defense problems a year ago – the MLS record broke a MLS record for most accepted targets – returned.
Bruce Arena's squad gave 15 goals in the last six matches, but they achieved encouraging performances in this tension. This includes narrow defeats to Columbus and Lafc, two teams playing more than one trophy finals in the last few seasons.
“It was annoying not to get a result,” San Jose said Dave Romney Columbus, a defender. “I think we have played well in many games that we don't score, and it's just a better defensive way in our 18th and we finish this chance.”
