Seattle Sounders FC 2 hits the road for the first time this season, traveling to Vancouver, B.C., for their second consecutive Cascadia clash on Sunday, April 8 (3 p.m. PT; SoundersFC.com). The Rave Green enter in fine form on the back of a resounding win over bitter rivals Portland Timbers 2.
From a tactical perspective, S2’s style of play and personnel suit this matchup quite nicely. Whitecaps 2 have yet to win a match in the 2017 USL campaign despite creating 19 chances in just two games. A pair of midfield maestros for the Canadian side, Ben McKendry and Deybi Flores, have set up 42 percent of the squad’s opportunities on goal with their stellar play in the middle of the park.
