The most fierce Major League Soccer rivalry resumes Saturday when Seattle hosts Portland at Lumen Field in a Western Conference showdown.
Both teams are trying to mount second-half surges after slow starts.
The Sounders were as low as 13th place in the conference while they focused on winning the CONCACAF Champions League. Now, they’re in seventh place after winning six of their last nine contests, including a 2-1 road victory over Toronto FC last time out.
Portland doesn’t have the excuse of continental competition, but slow starts and strong finishes have become a bit of a pattern under manager Giovanni Savarese. After early 2022 struggles, the Timbers are unbeaten in their last four outings, including a 2-2 draw at Nashville last Monday.
The away team won all three MLS meetings last season, with the Sounders taking two at Providence Park. The Timbers earned a 2-0 victory in the most recent encounter last August.
