Nashville SC are still winless in 2025, returning to Geodis Park on Saturday night for their third match of the season in hopes of their first three points of the year.
They've never beaten their opponents, the Portland Timbers, in four attempts. Their last meeting was a blowout 4-1 win for the Timbers, in which the visitors went down 4-0 in the first 30 minutes before Brian Anunga was sent off before the break.
Gastón Brugman is off the report for the first time, and has been in full team training all week, along with Patrick Yazbek, who made his season debut last weekend. Bryan Acosta remains out with a thigh injury, while defender Jeisson Palacios was a new addition to the report.
For the Timbers, 2024 leading scorer Jonathan Rodríguez is sidelined with a knee injury. He's expected to be out for close to a month. Fellow winger Santi Moreno is questionable with an ankle issue.
