Seattle Reign FC may be without some key players this weekend, but Vlatko Andonovski’s squad will still be pushing for three points on the road against the Utah Royals. Their Saturday afternoon match is the Lifetime Game of the Week, with the television broadcast starting at 12:30 PM PT.
In what is supposed to be a very warm match at altitude, Seattle will need to pressure the goal early against a Utah Royals team that doesn’t let many balls into the back of their net. That doesn’t mean Seattle won’t have plenty of chances. The Royals have struggled to mark set pieces, giving up recent goals to Seattle, Portland, and Houston on corner kicks and free kicks.
