Seattle Sounders will look for revenge when they will host Cascadia rivals Portland Timbers on Sunday. The Timbers already beat Seattle once this season but that particular venue is really hard. Seattle will try to take advantage of their home ground on this one but it won’t be easy.

Portland (7-8-4) will surely be feeling frustrated about the outcome of their last match, where they were stuck at a 1-1 draw at home against Orlando City. The Timbers are now undefeated in their last five matches in all competitions (3-0-2). When it comes to the MLS, Portland are sitting 9th in the Western Conference with 25 points. They have been quite feisty on the road so far (5-7-2), winning four of their last five matches in all competitions. Seattle Sounders (10-5-5) did a great job in their home match against Atlanta United, beating them by 1-2. That was the third win in the last four matches, but kept just one clean sheet in that span. Seattle are now sitting at the 3rd spot of the Western Conference with 35 points, two behind LA Galaxy. They are one of the few teams to not have lost at home so far in the season (8-0-2).

Seattle got some nice reinforcements back from the Copa America and the Gold Cup and are now complete again. The 2-1 loss to Portland here earlier in the season really hurt their feelings. I am going with the home team to win this massive derby.
