Are you ready for a match that is sure to be as unpredictable as a squirrel on roller skates? Hold onto your hats, because on the sunny Sunday of November 2nd, 2025, Providence Park is the place to be in the MLS universe, as Portland Timbers clash with San Diego FC. While the Timber Army might be sharpening their axes, the numbers tell a rather persuasive tale in favor of the visitors. Portland Timbers, having garnered as many victories against San Diego FC in their last trio of games as a penguin has won a ballroom dance competition – none, are looking to chop their way to success.

In their last showdown, San Diego FC, feeling right at home, handed Portland a 2-1 defeat – a scoreline Portland likely wants to forget faster than a cat wants a bath. And speaking of the domestic league diner, San Diego FC comfortably sits at position four, while Portland Timbers find themselves in the not-so-sweet 17th spot, wondering if they can trade in their chainsaws for practices with their competition's playbook instead.

Player performances may just turn the tide. San Diego’s maestro, Anders Dreyer, is dropping assists like they're hot, with a fantastic tally of 17. Meanwhile, Portland's response comes in the form of their goal-toting dynamo, A. Alves, who’s hit the back of the net 7 times this season, perhaps wishing his teammates would catch more of those golden opportunities!

As for ratings, it's a race to exceed expectations. Portland Timbers can flaunt their own star cast, headlined by James Pantemis with a cool score of 7.37, Claudio Bravo at 7.28, and David Ayala knocking in a neat 7.21. San Diego FC, however, boasts higher ratings, with Anders Dreyer leading at 7.83, Jeppe Tverskov at 7.54, and Hirving Lozano right there at 7.38.

Possession stats see Portland Timbers with a slightly less generous control of the ball at 49.5%, while San Diego FC zips around at 61.34%. As both teams eye each other across the corner flag, Portland averages 5 corners a match compared to San Diego’s 5.26. When it comes to discipline, both teams could swap stories, having collected about as many yellow cards as a banana republic, each harboring 69 and 65 respectively, with a red card here and there for that additional dash of drama.

If you were betting peanuts on the outcome based on these eclectic stats, it seems San Diego FC might just prance away with a win. Keep your eyes peeled and your snacks ready, because on this field, anything can happen!
