Portland Timbers face Seattle Sounders FC at Providence Park, Portland on Sunday, Aug 2 at 4:30 AM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the MLS, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.
Portland Timbers come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Seattle Sounders FC, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
In 10 previous meetings, Portland Timbers lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Portland Timbers won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Portland Timbers a slight edge, but Seattle Sounders FC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
