Tags:

Two clubs in opposite conferences of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the Portland Timbers and Orlando City. The first-division clash scheduled for 5 p.m. ET will be held at Providence Park in Portland and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN2.

What They're Saying

Portland Timbers manager Caleb Porter (via MLS): "I know that at times [Fernando Adi and Max Urruti] like to do similar things, which is why it's probably not the ideal pairing in terms of one guy who is a second forward and one guy who leads the line. They are both guys who like to lead the line."

Orlando City midfielder Kaka: "It is hard to lose like this for a second time. We made a good game and created opportunities, but next time we have to close the game. It is not frustrating. We created a lot of opportunities and we conceded a late goal [to DC United], but the only thing that is frustrating is that we could have won the game."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Desperate for goals, Orlando City turn to Cyle Larin. The 19-year-old was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and will look to open his career account on Sunday.

Portland's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Kwarasey; Villafana, Ridgewell, Borchers, Powell; Wallace, Cochive, Chara, Nagbe; Adi, Urruti

Orlando City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ricketts; Shea, Collin, Hines, Ramos; Okugo, Higuita; Rivas, Kaka, Molino; Larin
