Dynamo form (9-7-5, 32 pts): D-L-W-D-W
Portland form (8-8-6, 30 pts): D-D-D-L-W
Dynamo update: Fresh off their first road victory, the Dynamo have a great opportunity to build momentum and create some precious space between themselves and the fourth-place team. They should get a boost with the Honduran national team players and Erick Torres back from Gold Cup Duty. There is some pride on the line, too, with the Dynamo trying to maintain their unbeaten home record (8-0-2).
Portland introduction: The Timbers set the pace in the Western Conference early this season but slipped closer to the red line during a six-game winless skid beginning in mid-June.
