⭐ Editor's Pick
Portland Timbers come into this one with more consistent home scoring and far less volatility in attack. Over their last 10 home matches the team has been creating chances regularly - backed up by a trend of over 2.5 goals and an average of more than two goals per game at home. Seattle Sounders, by contrast, are in a rough patch: five straight defeats, a weakened attack and shaky defending make it hard to see them ending that run here. The losing streak isn't a coincidence - it reflects where this team is right now. The editors back a Portland Timbers win.
