Seattle Sounders vs Portland Timbers Match Preview

Portland Timbers have connected their fourth win in a row over Seattle Sounders as they beat the rivals in US Open Cup midway through June and they now travel to CenturyLink Field again in hope they can build on the streak, desperate for points to keep up with the Western Conference top 7.

Timbers have been very solid on the road lately and suffered just one loss in five trips across competitions (2-1 at Montreal), with four wins also on the records. They’ve been scoring goals on the regular and we should see them in great shape once again, despite two consecutive draws now behind them.

Seattle Sounders have, on the other hand, beaten Columbus Crew (1-2) and Atlanta United (2-1) to come 2nd in Western Conference with 35 points to their name. They’ve seen Borussia Dortmund end the streak in a friendly midway through the week but should still be very motivated to impress.

Sounders have been very tough to beat here and the already mentioned loss to Timbers was also their only one this term, which does still promise a very strong challenge. We do expect a narrow occasion but both sides have been scoring and conceding on the regular lately, which promises excitement too.

We will now stick our necks out for Portland Timbers to come away with at least a point once again, where going for a Draw or Away win feels like a great value at 17/20 with Unibet – especially seeing they’ve beaten Sounders in all of the last four occasions.

We should see goals and they’ll have to cope if they’re to do so, as we now also go for a Yes on Both teams to score at 4/7 with bet365. We have seen goals on both ends in all of Sounders’ last three outings as well as the Timbers’ respective last two, which feels like further evidence for such a claim.
