The Timbers now sit at 11 games unbeaten through all competitions (nine in MLS).
Last week the Timbers pulled off a draw in one of the hardest places to play in MLS, Atlanta United’s Mercedes Benz stadium. The Timbers lone goal in that 1-1 draw was scored by the head of Larrys Mabiala.
The Sounders are coming off a draw with the Chicago Fire and are now 1-3-1 in their last five matches, and only 2-3-2 in the friendly confines of CenturyLink Field. The last time the Sounders won was back on June 9th.
