THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a midweek defeat against Club America that saw them exit the CONCACAF Champions League at the quarter-final stage. That means in seven competitive matches this season, Portland have won two, drawn two and lost four matches. Their seven games have consisted of 24 goals in total. They come up against a Seattle Sounders side that have begun very well with two wins and a good draw away to LAFC to kick off the season. Their two wins have been impressive with seven goals being scored without conceding. Given the form of both sides, an away win or draw double chance would be a strong bet for this one.
