The Sounders will finish up their brief two-game road trip when they travel to the Twin Cities to take on Minnesota United FC for the first time ever. This is the first of two meetings this season and the only one in Minnesota.
With the Sounders facing an expansion team for the second time this season, it got me to thinking. How have the Sounders done against expansion sides the first time they have faced them?
Since the Sounders joined MLS in 2009, eight new teams have joined the league. In seven previous encounters with newcomers, Seattle is 3-1-3 with 13 goals scored and eight conceded.
