Beating the Timbers would create a schedule of eight matches over 28 days in May for the team that is setting the pace in MLS.
A win on Tuesday night would ensure that May will be the busiest stretch of the year for the Los Angeles Football Club.
LAFC went toe-to-toe on Saturday against Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia, rallying with a pair of second-half goals to secure a point and maintain their unbeaten record at home following a 2-0 victory over Minnesota on May 1. “I think that we are going to find a team that definitely has more confidence than the team we played in the second game of the season,” Portland head coach Gio Savarese said ahead of their Round of 32 clash.
Heading into another midweek Open Cup match, Cherundolo said he is confident that injured forwards Brian Rodriguez and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi as well as All-Star center back Jesus Murillo will be picked up by their teammates.
