Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Portland Timbers is 6.92, compared to 7.00 for Seattle Sounders. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Portland Timbers's highest-rated starter is J. Mosquera (8.20), while Seattle Sounders's best-rated player is C. Roldan (7.28).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Portland Timbers have contributed 4 goals and 6 assists this season, led by J. Mosquera (1G). Seattle Sounders's starters account for 9 goals and 8 assists, spearheaded by C. Roldan (3G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Portland Timbers deploy 4 defenders rated 7.13 on average, against Seattle Sounders's 4-man backline averaging 7.09. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Portland Timbers field 5 midfielders averaging 6.75, versus Seattle Sounders's 5 rated 7.15. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Portland Timbers start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.62, compared to 1 for Seattle Sounders averaging 6.32. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 89% for Portland Timbers and 84% for Seattle Sounders. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Portland Timbers's starters have collected 5 yellow cards this season, compared to 6 for Seattle Sounders. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Portland Timbers's starting XI is 25.6 (youngest: F. Surman (22), oldest: F. Mora (32)), while Seattle Sounders average 31.2 (youngest: J. Ferreira (25), oldest: S. Frei (39)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Portland Timbers's starters average 8 league appearances each, versus 8 for Seattle Sounders. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
