The newly signed foreign reinforcement has injected extra momentum into the side, lifting their recent form to a higher level, and they have already gone unbeaten for multiple consecutive matches. As for Portland Timbers, their 10-game recent record stands at 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, but the side has shown clear signs of a rebound lately.
