Seattle Sounders FC 2 (2-2-0) returns to Starfire Sports on Saturday, April 22 (7 p.m. PT, TICKETS), in excellent form on the back of an impressive road victory over LA Galaxy II.
The visiting Real Monarchs (3-1-0), Real Salt Lake’s USL affiliate, present a bit of a tactical conundrum when it comes to assessing style of play: Like S2, Real line up in a 4-2-3-1 and are possession-oriented, but a vast majority of the squad’s goals come from counterattacks. And although the Monarchs have tallied 10 goals this season leading scorer Sebastian Velasquez has tallied just twice.
