Portland Timbers's latest fixture against Sporting KC ended in an away 4-1 loss. I expected more from Portland Timbers. The lack of focus in the final third cost them three points. Portland Timbers was more dominant in the second half and scored in the 90 minute.

Seattle Sounders's previous game in the competition versus LA Galaxy ended in an away 3-3 draw. Their attackers wasted a lot of good goal-scoring opportunities, so the draw was deserved. Seattle Sounders was pretty good in both halves and scored in the 53rd, 61st and 73rd minute.

Since the start of the season, Portland Timbers is more dominant at home. They have five wins out of 13 games on home soil. Although Portland Timbers is among the most solid home teams in the league, they are far from perfect. Their defence is not as good as expected with just 23% home clean sheets.

Seattle Sounders has picked up 7 points from the previous six league games. They still have a lot to prove when playing away from home. Seattle Sounders wins 0.85 points per away game, a bit less than their home record shows. To improve results, they have to be more compact in defence. Seattle Sounders kept a clean sheet in just 15% of their visits.

It is hard to choose a favourite in this one. Both teams look evenly-matched and have their strengths. I am not willing to take a risk and prefer a double chance bet. My prediction is Draw or Seattle Sounders.

I expect a thrilling contest with plenty of goals. Both sides score and concede on average 2.7 goals per game. Over 2.5 goals were scored in an average of 42% of Portland Timbers's home and Seattle Sounders's away games. My prediction is Over 2.5 Goals.

Both teams struggle in defence and concede on regular occasions. Portland Timbers failed to keep a clean sheet in 23% of home games, while Seattle Sounders conceded in 15% of away games. On average, both teams score in 58% of Portland Timbers's home and Seattle Sounders's away games. My prediction is Both Teams to Score: Yes.

波特兰木材队与KC竞技的最新一场比赛以客场4比1失利告终。我对波特兰木材公司的期望更高。最后一节的不集中让他们丢了三分。波特兰木材队在下半场更有统治力，并在90分钟内得分。

西雅图海湾人此前在与洛杉矶银河队的比赛中以客场3比3战平。他们的攻击手浪费了很多很好的进球机会，所以平局是应得的。西雅图海湾人在两个半场都很出色，在第53分钟、61分钟和73分钟都取得了进球。

自从赛季开始，波特兰木材队在主场更有统治力。他们在主场的13场比赛中取得了5场胜利。虽然波特兰木材队是联盟中最稳固的主队之一，但他们远非完美。他们的防守不像预期的那么好，只有23%的主场零封对手。

西雅图海湾队在之前的六场联赛中拿到了7分。在客场比赛时，他们还有很多东西需要证明。西雅图海湾人每场客场赢0.85分，略低于他们的主场记录。为了提高成绩，他们必须在防守上更加紧凑。西雅图海湾人只有15%的出场率没有失球。

在这一款中很难选出最喜欢的一款。两支队伍势均力敌，各有所长。我不愿意冒险，宁愿有双倍的机会。我的预测是《Draw》或《Seattle Sounders》。

我期待着一场激动人心的、有很多目标的比赛。双方场均得分和失球2.7个。在波特兰木材队主场和西雅图海湾队客场的比赛中，平均有42%的比赛进球数超过2.5个。我的预测是超过2.5个目标。

两支球队在防守上都很挣扎，经常会失球。波特兰木材队在23%的主场比赛中未能保持零封，西雅图海湾队在15%的客场比赛中失球。平均而言，两支球队在波特兰木材队主场和西雅图海湾队客场的比赛中都有58%的得分。我的预测是两队都能得分:是的。
