The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Portland Timbers will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Seattle Sounders travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.

This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Portland Timbers average 1.3 goals per game and Seattle Sounders manage 1.8. Combined that's just 3.1. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders together create chances worth 3.5 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Seattle Sounders have goals in them (1.8 per game) but their record at the back (1.5 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
