- Thomas Hasal is expected to miss the start of the season through injury.
- Ali Adnan reportedly has a bit of a muscle injury and could miss out here. If fit it will be between himself and Cristian Gutierrez for the starting spot.
- Both Jaroslaw Niezgoda and Sebastian Blanco remain out for the Timber after they both did their ACL's in 2020. Blanco is reportedly close to a return, but this game will probably come too soon.
- Jeremy Ebobisse suffered a hamstring injury earlier in pre-season and is out here.
- New full-backs Claudio Bravo, and Jose van Rankin are both expected to make their MLS debuts here.
Over 2.5 goals and Portland will win.
