Recent form

Portland Timbers

Portland Timbers, currently sitting 6th in the Major League Soccer table, have shown a mixed but generally positive form in their recent fixtures. The Timbers have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, notably a 4-2 away victory against LA Galaxy and a thrilling 3-3 draw at home to Los Angeles FC. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 12 goals in their last six matches across all competitions, averaging an impressive 2 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals in the same period. The Timbers have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six outings, including a recent 1-0 home win against Sporting Kansas City. Their ability to find the net consistently is reflected in the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of these matches, with over 2.5 goals occurring in the same percentage of games. While they haven't had any extended winning or losing streaks, their recent form of three wins, two draws, and only one loss suggests they are in a relatively good run of form.

Seattle Sounders

The Seattle Sounders have shown impressive form in their recent matches, with four wins, one draw, and only one loss in their last six games. They've been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 12 times at an average of 2 goals per game, whilst maintaining a solid defensive record, conceding just 1.17 goals per match. The Sounders have enjoyed a notable run of four consecutive matches without defeat, including three wins, before their recent 4-0 loss to Los Angeles FC. Their attacking prowess is evident in the fact that 67% of their games have seen over 2.5 goals, with particularly high-scoring victories against St. Louis CITY (4-1) and Nashville SC (3-0). Despite the heavy defeat in their most recent outing, the Sounders' overall form suggests they are a force to be reckoned with, balancing offensive firepower with defensive stability.
