Portland Timbers take on the visitors Seattle Sounders at “Providence Park” in the gameweek 18 of the MLS. The match will be played in Portland on Monday, June 26th.
Portland Timbers come up to the home encounter with three-clash losing streak in a row: vs. Seattle Sounders 1:2, vs. Colorado Rapids 1:2 and vs. Minnesota 2:3, however, all that matches were on the road. Despite weak results in recent games, “Timbers” share the second-fourth positions in the table of the Western Conference with Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas. Caleb Porter’s side recorded 17 points earned, 17 goals for and seven goals against in eight clashes at its own turf. The team’s unbeaten home run has been lasting since the 22nd of April across four matches.

Seattle Sounders couldn’t win in two last games: vs. New York City 1:2 and Orlando City 1:1. And in general, after their triumph in 2016 when they got gold medals of the Major League Soccer, Seattle Sounders demonstrate disappointing performance in this season: after 17 rounds the side occupies only eighth place in the standings of the Western Conference with 20 points gained and 20-25 goal difference. Seattle Sounders show mediocre results on the road getting five points with 10 goals for and 19 goals against in nine clashes. The away run of defeats consists of four encounters with 2:12 aggregated score.
Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders met twice in 2017 and Seattle Sounders won both head-to-heads with 1:0 and 2:1 scorelines, still, that clashes were played in Seattle. Taking into consideration the rivals’ statistics in front of their supporters and on the road, I believe that “Timbers” at least will pick up some points at the home turf.
Prediction for the match: Portland Timbers to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
