TACTICAL BREAKDOWN
Orlando’s 4-2-3-1 presses high to spring Torres and Luís Muriel into half-spaces. Expect Óscar Pareja to target Portland’s right flank where rookie full-back Nathan Santos can be isolated 1-v-1.
Phil Neville’s Timbers lean on a 4-3-3 that morphs into a 3-2-5 in possession, with Evander drifting wide left to combine with Santiago Moreno. Look for long diagonals over Orlando’s aggressive full-backs.

EDITOR’S PREDICTION
With both attacks humming and neither side keen to sit back, expect an open, end-to-end affair. Timbers’ aerial threat on corners could neutralize Orlando’s home-field edge, but Gallese’s shot-stopping keeps it tight.
