Back in Week 28 this column pointed out how the top four teams in the Western Conference were undefeated at home. After the Sounders win at the LA Galaxy last weekend only one Western Conference team remains undefeated, the Colorado Rapids with a 9-0-5 record. And with the Portland Timbers visiting Dick's Sporting Goods Park this weekend (Saturday, 6 PM, MLS Live), we hope that streak continues.
The Rapids winning is the highest leverage game for the Sounders playoff chances, but looking ahead there are couple other results we are looking for. The New England Revolution host Sporting Kansas City, go Revs.
