Round 2 for the epic match in the Cascadia Derby

(10) Portland Timbers (6-8-3, 21 points) vs (8) Seattle Sounders (7-6-3, 24 points)

 Saturday, August 1, 2026 KO 7:45 PM / 10:45 PM EST

 Place: Providence Park, Portland, Oregon

Portland Timbers Briefly,

For newly appointed manager Marti Cifuentes, the Spaniard is looking to get his tenure off on the right foot and give the Portland Timbers over their archrivals, the Seattle Sounders.

The Timbers are also looking to build from their 5-1 win at Lumen Field over the Sounders from July 22nd.

 Seattle Sounders Briefly

Manager Brian Schmetzer is looking not only to avenging the Sounders’ loss to the Portland Timbers at home in Lumen Field, but to end their longest losing streak since he took charge in 2016 at five games.

My prediction will be a rout over the Sounders and many memorable afternoons in Providence Park; still no showing when the Whitecaps will be back in Providence Park.

Forecast

 A win at home will be ideal for these Portland Timbers
