The Portland Timbers lead two points ahead of the nearest rival. After five victories in a row, the team was defeated and drew twice, but immediately improved. On recent tours, the Lumberjacks have beaten Los Angeles Galaxy and Vancouver. Oregonians are the most productive, however, they also miss a lot. They perform well at home and have won four wins in their previous five matches. The only thing that can interfere with success is gross mistakes in defense, which sometimes happen, as well as a low level of motivation.
Rennes has an impressive season. Julien Stefan’s team makes mistakes, but they do not develop into long protracted streaks, as happens with many teams fighting on several fronts in a pandemic. After nine rounds the “red-blacks” are in third place in the table with 18 points and are only three points behind the leader in the person of PSG. In the Champions League Rennes is not so successful. In the first round they could not beat Krasnodar out of his field (1:1), although they had a real advantage and were leading the score. In the second round the red-blacks didnt leave any chances for Sevilla. In Spain Rennes lost with a score of 0:1 and showed far from the best football. The Nervions had enough chances to defeat them.
