The Seattle Sounders will wrap up the 2019 MLS regular season on Sunday as they host Western Conference opponents Minnesota United in their second and final meeting of the campaign. Here are three matchups to watch, presented by Toyota.
Cristian Roldan vs. Osvaldo Alonso
From a narrative perspective, Roldan vying for control of the midfield with his former mentor makes this one of the most intriguing matchups. Tactically speaking, whichever player is more effective at breaking up play and dictating tempo will likely determine the result.
Seattle’s former captain, Alonso has been a valuable addition for the Loons in this season.
