The Portland Timbers are on the road again, this time headed north into the hostile Land of Grunge to take on the Seattle Sounders in the first official Cascadia Cup match of 2018.
The Timbers remain unbeaten in 9 league matches — 11 matches in all competitions — while the Sounders are also enjoying one of their best runs of form this year, having strung together a 1-1-1 record over their last three games. As the old adage goes, however, form goes out the window in a derby and with both teams having plenty to play for, today’s match should be hotly contested as always.
