Fresh off a tight 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake last weekend, the Seattle Sounders are preparing to face their biggest rivals for the first time of the 2017 season this weekend. The Portland Timbers will come to town on Saturday hoping to make a statement against the reigning MLS Cup champs, who haven’t had the best season thus far. Between the rivalry aspect of the match and the need to get the season back on track, Brian Schmetzer said that his team is more than ready. “I know the guys are going to be up for it, for sure,” he said.
