Form, Standings, Stats

We said: Seattle Sounders 2-1 Portland Timbers

A well-rested Sounders squad will be eager to improve their form at home after dropping points in two of their last three outings. Despite Portland making great strides in recent weeks, we expect Seattle to dictate the tempo of this game and take Portland out of their rhythm in the middle of the field, something the Rave Green have excelled at in recent fixtures.
