Seattle Sounders Preview – Will Green make home advantage count?
Seattle Sounders have had a mixed bag of results so far this season. They sit ninth in the Western section, taking 26 points from 20 games. Green have picked up eight wins, suffered ten defeats and have drawn twice.
Brian Schmetzer’s men have been in poor form over the last couple of weeks. Since a 2-0 win against Toronto in Canada on 3rd July, they have lost successive matches against Portland Timbers, Nashville and Chicago Fire, failing to score in all three.
After the three blanks in a row, first and foremost, Seattle will be desperate to find the net in front of their home supporters at the weekend. This is a huge game for the hosts, and the bookies are offering 17/20 for a home win.
Colorado Rapids Preview – Can the Rapids build on Galaxy triumph?
Robin Fraser and his Colorado Rapids had a season to remember last time around, winning the Western Conference and finishing runners-up in the overall table. However, they have failed to live up to those heights this term, spending practically all season in the lower regions of the table.
Colorado are currently in 12th position in the Western division, winning six, drawing six and losing eight. However, they head to Seattle unbeaten in three. After draws with Real Salt Lake and Orlando City, the Rapids beat LA Galaxy 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park last time out.
