Portland Timbers vs. Seattle Sounders: How to Watch, Previews, Match Chat [7:30]

The Portland Timbers host the Seattle Sounders in the hottest match up of the 2017 season to date — both literally and figuratively. With the Timbers in need of a win after a rough road trip and the Sounders sitting below the red line both teams come into this match with plenty of motivation before their storied rivalry comes into play.

Remember, this will be a hot one, so stay cool and stay hydrated.

Match Preview: “The lack of an obvious organizing force at the back is a real concern for the Timbers as they face a Sounders side that are more than capable of disrupting a back line with their movement, particularly the runs of Jordan Morris in concert with the passing of Nicolas Lodeiro and the ability of Clint Dempsey to find space between the lines.
