COLUMBUS — The Seattle Sounders are one of only four Major League Soccer teams that are undefeated at home at the midway point of the season. Seattle has compiled a 7-0-2 record within the friendly confines of CenturyLink Field, claiming 23 of a possible 27 points, including three crucial ones last weekend against Vancouver at the death courtesy of Kelvin Leerdam’s fifth goal of the year.
Seattle has struggled on the road so far in 2019, though, amassing a 1-5-3 record heading into Saturday’s clash at Columbus Crew SC (4:30 p.m. PT; JOEtv, YouTube TV, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360).
