Before evaluating player picks, confirm the player is starting or expected to start. Always wait for the final official lineup.
Velde's move is always the same and it keeps working: he collects the ball on the left, drifts infield and unloads his right foot. This MLS season he has climbed to almost three attempts a game.

Portland Timbers are ninth in the Western Conference with 28 points from 21 games (8 wins, 4 draws, 9 losses, 38 scored and 37 conceded); at home they have won six of ten (23-16), away two of eleven (15-21). In their last game they drew 1-1 away at Los Angeles FC, after a 3-1 win over San Diego. Austin are fourteenth with 21 points from 21 games (5-6-10, 26-40 on goals), winning four of ten at home (14-10) and just one of eleven away (12-30); they closed their last outing with a 0-2 loss at Toluca. In the five most recent meetings Portland have won three, Austin one, with one draw. The MLS average sits at 3.19 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
