Seattle midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro will start again despite playing all 90 minutes versus Portland last Sunday and at Houston on Wednesday.
PORTLAND — Here are the notable notes for Sunday’s Sounders-Timbers match at Providence Park:
- Hilario Grajeda is the referee, Frank Anderson and Jeff Hosking are his assistants and Alex Chilowicz is the fourth official.
- Sunday is the 82nd all-time meeting between the Sounders and Timbers dating back to the North American Soccer League of the 1970s. Seattle holds a 43-28-10 edge, a lead it padded with a 3-1 win at CenturyLink Field last weekend.
