The Portland Timbers will make their MLS home debut tonight at Jeld-Wen Field as the Timbers take on the Chicago Fire (11pm, ESPN2).
The Timbers are still looking for their first win of the season, and will look to do so against a Fire team that has gotten off to a decent start thanks the impressive play of forwards Diego Chaves and Gaston Puerari.
For Portland, the key will be getting its attack going and getting Kenny Cooper and Jorge Perlaza good service against a Fire defense that was exposed in its 2-1 loss to Seattle last Saturday.
SBI will be providing live commentary on tonight's match so please feel free to follow along here. As always, you are welcome to share your own thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

The best part is seeing all my friends. Portland is a small town so every game I run into people I haven’t seen for years.
I just need to recover in time for Sunday’s game.
