Seattle and Portland Next

On Sunday, the Timbers will be traveling to Seattle for the second of three games between the two sides this season. The hatred between the two sets of fans, which runs as deep as ever, will be in full force at CenturyLink Field Sunday. The Timbers, who have lost 3 of the past 4 games, aren’t quite in the form they would want to be in ahead of such a big game. Seattle, on the other hand, looks to have turned their season around. Since the addition of Nico Lodiero, Seattle has gone undefeated, claiming 7 of the last possible 9 points. Even though Seattle might be tipped to win this game, the Sounders-Portland clashes can never be predicted.

Kick off will be at 6:30 on Sunday. This game will be huge for the Western Conference Playoff race, especially since the season is starting to reach its last stretch of games.
