The opponent: Seattle Sounders FC (3rd, 16-8-8, 56 points)

It's quite the end to the 2024 season as the league's two longest-tenured rivals square off, with the Cascadia Cup on the line as a bonus. The Timbers want to secure both the regional cup and the hosting rights for the Western Conference Wild Card Game in the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. To do this, they must secure a result behind enemy lines.

The Seattle Sounders quietly shot up the standings in the second half of 2024 and moved into the top three in the conference. When the two teams met for the first time this year in May, Seattle was in 11th place in the West and the postseason looked bleak. Five months later they are now in third place and are seeded in the home playoffs. Jordan Morris (13g, 5a) and Alex Rusnak (10g, 15a) struggled with injuries and development all year and would have to carry much of the offensive load in 2024. Raúl Ruidíaz's health is volatile, and Pedro de la Vega As the Sounders have also succumbed to injury fever, they have progressed without two of their three DPs. Yeimar Gomez (5.1 clearances per 90) and Jackson Ragen (0.7 blocks per 90) lead Seattle's defense, while Stefan Frei (28 MP, 26 GA) continues to man the posts in the background.
