Fourth-place Portland Timbers are set to host longtime rivals Seattle Sounders in a high-stakes MLS Western Conference showdown at Providence Park on Saturday.
The Timbers are riding a wave of momentum, unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions, and will be pushing to make it four straight.
With 22 points on the board, a win could vault them as high as second in the West, depending on how San Diego FC and Minnesota United fare this weekend.
Seattle, meanwhile, will be eager to bounce back after suffering a humbling 4-0 loss to LAFC at BMO Stadium, a defeat that snapped their five-game unbeaten streak.
Now sitting sixth in the standings, the Sounders will be desperate to steady the ship in one of the fiercest rivalries in Major League Soccer.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
