At Providence Park, on Saturday evening, one of the biggest and oldest rivalries in Major League Soccer will reignite for the second time this season. Having met just a few weeks ago, the Portland Timbers and the Seattle Sounders will do battle. This time, the Sounders will be hoping to get competitive, because let's face it. they did anything but when hosting their rivals a fortnight ago, losing by five goals to one on home soil. Can Brian Schmetzer's men atone for that embarrassing defeat?
In the early betting, given what we saw when these teams recently met, it's very, very hard to go against the hosts, who could easily be priced shorter than the currently available +105. In fact, such a price looks generous. The Timbers were far too good for the Sounders just a couple of weeks ago, and we've seen nothing since to suggest that there will be much change here.

Our Portland Timbers vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
As touched on above, nothing about the recent efforts of either team suggests that the Timbers will all of a sudden struggle to get the better of a team that they battered as recently as a fortnight ago. Since that defeat, the Sounders have found it hard to score goals, and that's a problem given that they're up against a free-scoring home team, a team that has notched no less than 11 goals in the last four at Providence Park.
A distinct lack of offensive quality on the road was the catalyst for Seattle's defeat in Philadelphia last weekend, and it's more likely than the early odds suggest that we see something similar in Portland on Saturday.
