Timo Werner and Ousseni Bouda offer further support behind him, with Werner setting up 33 chances created in 929 minutes and Bouda contributing 6 goals from 40 shots. Portland Timbers are similarly unaffected by injury concerns, and their threat continues to run through Kristoffer Velde, who has scored 8 goals and created 52 chances in 2125 minutes this season.<\/p>\n<p>San Jose sit fifth in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/mls\/\">Western Conference<\/a> and go into this match unbeaten in their last five league games (D D W W D), a run capped by a 2-2 draw at home to LAFC and a 1-0 win over Houston Dynamo. Portland, ninth in the West on 32 points, have been far less settled, swinging from a 5-4 shootout win over Minnesota United to back-to-back defeats against Austin FC and Atlanta United. That contrast points to a tighter, lower-scoring affair than Portland&#8217;s recent home games have produced, with San Jose&#8217;s superior recent form the difference at PayPal Park.<\/p>\n<p>US viewers can watch San Jose Earthquakes vs Portland Timbers on Apple TV&#8217;s MLS Season Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n.sq-bpg{--sig:#a8e039;--acc:#a8e039;--acc-ink:#0d2a08;--ink:#eaf5e6;--dim:#a7cbb8;--line:rgba(255,255,255,.10);\n
