The Honduran side had a difficult start to the local tournament, in which they sit at the bottom of their group with nine points after ten games. The coach Héctor Vargas decided to give a break to the starters before to this game, which could be important for Marathón to recover. 

However, they will probably have a very difficult task to face. Portland Timbers look as a much more strong team, who seem as a serious contender to fight for this competition. It's been quite a long time since their MLS is Back tournament triumph, but they still have a talented squad that hogs the spotlight ahead of this encounter.
