Inter Miami
Match Time & Date:

03:30 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Orlando City
All eyes will be on Century Link Field when Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers face each other in the Major League Soccer on Friday morning. Seattle Sounders head into the match following a goalless draw with San Jose Earthquakes where they had no more than 4 goals attempts. The hosts aim to get back on course as soon as possible, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Portland Timbers.
It has to be noted that the likes of Jones, Leyva, and Muse are all likely to miss the game with injury. Ruidiaz, Svensson, and Arreaga return from international duty. Portland failed to win the previous two league fixtures, and given Seattle’s fine home record, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. The likes of Asprilla, Blanco, Bodily, and Cascante should be out of contention for the visiting team.
