Sounders FC 2 (9-15-3, 30 points) plays its second consecutive home match at Starfire Stadium on Saturday, September 16 (7:00 p.m. PT, live-stream on SoundersFC.com) and will take on the Colorado Springs Switchbacks (9-11-7, 34 points) in a Western Conference clash with massive playoff implications. This is the third meeting between these two sides this season, winning the first match back in April before falling on the road in July, and it could prove pivotal as the Rave Green continue to push toward the post-season.
Much like S2, the Switchbacks employ a hyper-fluid 4-2-3-1 system, with players often swapping positions in the run of play and attempting to confound opponents with their off-the-ball movement.
