We said: Portland Timbers 1-1 Vancouver Whitecaps

We often see the best version of a side in the early tenure of a new manager, but although the Timbers should be very determined to make a statement following that lopsided defeat a week ago, the Caps' desperation and resilience we believe will be enough to earn them a result.
