LINEUPS: Cristian Roldan was a surprising scratch from Saturday’s lineup after it was revealed that he had been placed in concussion protocol. Raúl Ruidíaz effectively took his place in the lineup with Jordan Morris sliding over to right midfielder. The other changes in the lineup are Obed Vargas and João Paulo replacing the injured Josh Atencio and Albert Rusnák.
Rarely has their been a match in this rivalry with the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers heading in such opposite directions. The Sounders sit atop the Western Conference on 16 points and a +12 goal-difference, while the Timbers are 12th and riding a six-game winless run.
