If the Seattle Sounders win their Wednesday night (7:30 PM, JOEtv/ROOT) match against the Houston Dynamo they will qualify for their eighth straight playoff appearance. That would tie New England for the second longest MLS Playoff streak all time (LA is 1st with 10) and tie the LA Galaxy for the longest active streak at eight years.
Drew Fischer is the center ref for the game in his 64th MLS match. Clint Dempsey is still out due to his heart issue. Dylan Remick is out with a concussion. Brad Evans and Alex are suspended. Osvaldo Alonso will be suspended with another yellow card.
