San Jose Earthquakes got 7 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Preston Judd (2', 12') and Daniel Munie (24') scored for San Jose Earthquakes.
The stats tell the story, and Portland Timbers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals overall. Defensively, Portland Timbers certainly have room for improvement. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this match, however.
Inspecting their most recent head to head meetings stretching back to 03/09/2023 tells us that Seattle Sounders FC have won 2 of these and Portland Timbers 1, with the number of drawn matches standing at 3.
13 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 7 of them from The Sounders and 6 created by The Timbers. That is an average goals per game value of 2.17.

Portland Timbers had 9 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target.

It seems likely that The Sounders look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this one featuring Andrew Thomas, Kalani Kossa-Rienzi, Kee-Hee Kim, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo, Hassani Dotson, Peter Kingston, Jesús Ferreira, Albert Rusnák, Paul Rothrock and Jordan Morris.

It’s pretty clear that Portland Timbers could really find it hard to be putting goals past a Seattle Sounders FC team who certainly have the ability to dominate proceedings.

In terms of the bookies’ odds on the win-draw-win market, a victory for Seattle Sounders FC can be had for 1.45, betting on the game finishing all-square is 5 & putting your money on a victory for Portland Timbers gets 5.5. Those are the most competitive prices on offer at the current time.
