Geography makes these teams rivals. Seattle has had more success in their history but it is Portland that is higher in the Western Conference standings at the moment.
Seattle Sounders
Seattle is trying to find its way through this season coming off a league championship, with middling results. They have beaten Portland the one time they collided though, 1-0 last month.
The big problem for Seattle is scoring.
They have scored only 20 goals through 17 games, not even averaging two per contest. Will Bruin leads with 5 so far but the MLS vet has never been one of the top scorers or someone to fear.
Two of his goals have come in the last three matches. He is streaky. That is the second time he has done that this season.

For a team that struggles to score, like Seattle, it is key to get on the board first. Five times this season they have been held to a clean sheet but if they can somehow take the lead on the road they can really try and play their defensive game.
Remember they won the title last season without a shot on goal in regulation.
Portland Timbers
The Timbers currently find themselves in a three way tie for second place in the West. That place might be a little deceiving though as they have games in hand over Houston and FC Dallas and the smallest goal differential of that group.
They need a home win to keep from dropping and it could bring them into a tie with Sporting KC depending on what they do this week.
Argentinian Diego Valeria leads the club with 9 goals – tied for third in MLS. That pace should see him post his most productive season since joining Portland/MLS.
He can be streaky though as 6 of those nine goals came as a result of three 2 goal games. Fortunately for Portland they also field Fanendo Adi, who has eight goals. He was the week 15 player of the week scoring both goals as the Timbers won at Dallas. His size can be imposing.

Portland has suffered back to back losses both on the road against Western Conference foes. Returning home they are going to be eager to get back in the win column, especially against Seattle.
Free Seattle Sounders vs. Portland Timbers MLS Prediction:
This is going to be all about who can get our first and force the pace. Seattle will be happy to get out of Portland with a draw but the Timbers really need a win. Look for them to get that first goal and win the match outright. Perhaps with some ease.
4* Free MLS Betting Pick: Portland to win.
They are a home favourite but they are actually getting good value here. I assume it is because of recent form and the fact that the Seattle brand is stronger.
