5 In each of the first four matches between the Timbers and Minnesota United, the teams have combined to score five or more goals.

32 Since the beginning of the 2014 season, the Timbers have won 32 road matches in MLS competition (regular season and playoffs). The 32 away victories are tied for the most in MLS in that time span.
