Seattle Sounders team news and form: Toothless attack
Not only did the Sounders fail to score a goal against Steven Cherundolo’s LAFC last week. But the worst part is that coach Schmetzer’s boys only produced one shot on target in 90 minutes of play. That’s definitely not how you put up a title fight and the experienced manager knows it.
Predicted lineup: Thomas (GK), Roldan, Gomez, Ragen, Tolo, Vargas, Paulo, Roldan, Rusnak, Rothrock & Morris

Player to watch: Jordan Morris
Morris is the leading finisher for the visitors this season. He scored 10 goals since the start of the Major League Soccer campaign and is surely Seattle Sounders’ chief weapon up front. We are sure that if coach Neville can find a way to nullify Morris, our Portland Timbers vs Seattle Sounders predictions will succeed.
Second player to watch: Jonathan Rodriguez
Rodriguez of Portland Timbers is scoring even more frequently than Morris this season. His tally reached 13 goals and will only rise until the end of the season.
