Sounders FC 2 (7-13-2) returns to Starfire Stadium on Sunday (6:30 p.m. PT, live-stream on SoundersFC.com) for its third match of the 2017 USL regular season against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 (4-11-6). Both squads enter the Cascadia clash in need of points as the push for the playoffs begins in earnest. While S2’s last win came back on July 1 in a 2-0 road win over WFC2, the visitors are winless in their last ten matches and have only one victory since April 16.
Much like the Whitecaps first team, WFC2 typically lines up in either a 4-2-3-1 or a more attack-oriented 4-3-3 formation.
