Sounders at Timbers: Three Questions
The first Cascadia Cup match of the season for the Seattle Sounders comes this weekend as they travel south to face the Portland Timbers. After losing both games against Portland in 2022 and three straight overall, Seattle will be keen to have a better start to 2023. The Sounders will hope to keep their good play going as they come into this one first in the West with a record of 5-1-1, +12.
The Timbers sit in 12th having not won since opening weekend with a record of 1-4-2, -6, and have only scored 6 goals in 7 games, including just 2 in 3 home games. They’ll be without midfielder Eryk Williamson, who’s out for the season after knee surgery to repair a cruciate ligament injury.
