Match Preview
It has already been a hugely successful season for the Seattle Sounders in 2025, and their spot in the playoffs was assured last weekend. Confidence levels within the camp remain high, as they already have experience of winning silverware this term following their memorable Leagues Cup success against Inter Miami.
However, the Sounders will need to get their form back on track in the MLS after failing to win in their last four matches since winning the Leagues Cup. Seattle were last in action playing out an entertaining 2-2 home draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The increased pressure is likely to be on the Portland Timbers this weekend, as they remain in a fight to secure their spot in the playoffs. They currently sit seventh, and they hold a four-point advantage over the sides in the wild-card spots in the Western Conference.
The Timbers will take some confidence from their recent outings, having gone two without a defeat. However, they are yet to win since the middle of last month. Last weekend, they played out a second successive draw in the MLS against FC Dallas.
Seattle Sounders vs. Portland Timbers Picks
There will be huge pressure on the away team this weekend, as they bid to avoid dropping into a one-match shootout to secure their playoff spot. Based on the trend of draws when these sides collide, that could be an interesting betting angle on Saturday.
