Portland Timbers

Just think about the fact that after the restart of the season, Giovanni Savares's wards played only once in a draw, and all the others ended in victory, so this team, like no one else, deserved to play in the MLS final.

The team made it out of Group F in one breath, where it scored seven points and took first place. Portland left behind Los Angeles, Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy, which is clearly worth a lot.

In the 1/8 finals, the Lumberjacks beat Cincinnati (2-1) not without problems, then sensationally defeated New York City (3-1) and in the last meeting they cleverly dealt with Philadelphia (2-1 ), so there are no questions to the club at all.

23-year-old Frenchman Jeremy Ebobisse played an important and key role in the Timbers, with seven goals on his account, so you can be sure that he will make the opposition's defense worry more than once in the final.

Orlando City

“Lions” have fully confirmed their nickname with a stable and spectacular game and the result of this effort is reaching the final stage of the MLS.

It all started with a fierce struggle in the group stage, as they had to confront Inter Miami, Philadelphia and New York City, but Oscar Parehi's club not only held out, but also took first place with seven points.

“Orlando” did not slow down, but began to add with each match. Although at the stage of 1/8 finals there was a real fight against “Montreal”, but an accurate shot in the 60th minute by Tesho Akindele decided the fate of the meeting (1-0). This was followed by a victory over Los Angeles in a penalty shoot-out (2-1), which was also spectacular and a confident win against Minnesota in the semifinals (3-1).

Still, a good team game with the charismatic captain Nani decides, especially in difficult confrontations. The team from Florida deserved the championship no less than the rival, so a real fight awaits us.

Prediction

Of course, the ending is always a lot of emotions and this one is unlikely to be an exception. Both teams showed their best side and simply surpassed all expectations, because few could imagine these rivals in the fight for the championship.

“Portland” will try to play the first number, because there is nowhere to retreat. They need to go forward and take risks, which, in principle, is what Orlando needs, since Oscar Pareha's charges are good at counter-attacks and quickly come out of defense.

In our opinion, the "lions" will find the key to victory as in the last personal confrontations and become the champions of the MLS.
