The Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs are getting a dose of Cascadia.


The Seattle Sounders will visit the Portland Timbers on Sunday, Nov. 4 (2:30 p.m. PT; ESPN) in Leg 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, with the Sounders hosting the decisive Leg 2 on Thursday, Nov. 8 at CenturyLink Field at 7:30 p.m. PT.

The Timbers advanced to the semifinals after defeating FC Dallas 2-1 on Wednesday night in Frisco, Texas. The Sounders earned a Knockout Round bye.


The upcoming two-leg series will mark the fourth and fifth matchups of the season for the league's biggest adversaries, with Portland winning the first two matches and Seattle winning the most recent meeting in August. 


Seattle and Portland have faced off in the MLS Cup Playoffs once before, with the Timbers defeating the Rave Green 5-3 on aggregate goals in the Conference Semifinals in 2013.
