We said: St Louis City 1-0 Portland Timbers
The Timbers' core has been relatively intact for the most part this year, but they have become somewhat predictable and are missing that killer instinct.
Being without an impactful player like Klauss will be a challenge for the home team. However, St Louis have shown they do not need one individual to get them three points, and that depth should carry them through without their key Brazilian.
