Two Western Conference contenders collide Saturday night as the Portland Timbers (6-4-3, 22 points, 4th West) host Seattle Sounders (5-4-4, 19 points, 6th West).
The Timbers have come out of the gates strong in 2025, showing real grit and stamina under Phil Neville’s coaching, a far cry from their late-season fade in 2024.
Now sitting third in the Western Conference with 21 points from their opening 12 matches, the Timbers hit the road to take on Real Salt Lake on Wednesday.
Portland bounced back from a humbling 4-1 defeat to San Jose with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City in their most recent outing.
Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake, who finished third in the West last season, have yet to find their rhythm this year. They currently sit 11th after a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas.
