Portland’s home scoring record meets Charlotte’s stronger conference position and mixed away record, with both squads carrying several listed absences.

Before kickoff

Different tables, contrasting home and away records

The pre-match standings place Portland Timbers #11 in the Western Conference on 34 points from 30 games, while Charlotte are #5 in the Eastern Conference on 47 points from 30 games. Their positions are not comparable because they belong to different tables; the supplied points difference is 13.

At Providence Park, Portland’s home record is 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, with 31 goals scored and 25 conceded. Charlotte’s away record is 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, with 24 goals scored and 29 conceded. The home side’s two clean sheets at home match Charlotte’s two away clean sheets.

Recent sequences and confirmed absences

The latest five results in the supplied 30-match form sample are win, draw, loss, loss, loss for Portland and draw, loss, win, draw, win for Charlotte. That gives context to the fixture without establishing a longer-term match plan. Both teams most often use 4-2-3-1: Portland in 18 matches and Charlotte in 20.

Portland list A. Bonetig, B. Bye, Z. McGraw and J. Mosquera as missing, while Antony and H. Sulte are questionable. Charlotte list N. Berchimas, B. Bronico, A. Goodwin and A. John as missing, with A. Doucoure questionable.

At kickoff on Sunday, October 25, at Providence Park, can Portland’s 31 home goals find a way through an away defence that has conceded 29 this season?
