Prediction: 2-0
Portland Timbers
Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers take on each other at Lumen Field in what is expected to be a lively contest. Seattle aim to retain top position in the standings, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. Despite failing to find the net in the 2-1 win over Columbus Crew, Peru international Raul Ruidiaz should continue to lead the line for the Western Conference leaders, while experienced attacker Will Bruin could sneak into the starting XI after finding the new in the triumph over Columbus.
The Timbers, on the other hand, aim to climb to the playoffs berth, but given their anything but good form in August, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. All Attinella, Jome, and Polo are likely to miss the game for Portland, who suffered a 3-1 loss at Austin in their last league fixture.

Jordy Delem is a Seattle Sounders midfielder who represents Martinique on the international stage. Delem played for the likes of Club Franciscain, Arles-Avignon and Club Franciscain before joining Seattle Sounders in 2016.
