This is the fourth Cascadia Cup match of the year. The Seattle Sounders currently lead the standings with three points in their two matches. They are in first due to tie-breaking procedures as each of the three teams in the region have a win and a loss. Portland Timbers player Larrys Mabiala and Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro are tied with two goals in Cascadia Cup matches.

Not only is this a rivalry match, it is the chance for Brian Schmetzer’s side to pass over the red line and not look back. Portland is on a losing streak and the Sounders are the hottest team in the league.
