After a brief spell of struggles, the Seattle Sounders seem to be back on track. They’ve scored nine goals in their past two games, a home win over reigning Concacaf Champions League winners Tigres UANL and a road win over the Portland Timbers.
Knowing that they have another game on Saturday, though, head coach Brian Schmetzer will likely rotate his lineup pretty heavily. We’re expecting to see as many as seven changes, which should leave plenty of firepower on the bench if it’s needed.
The Sounders have plenty of motivation. FC Dallas scored a late equalizer when these two teams faced off a couple weeks ago in Seattle, and the Sounders would surely like to get those two points back.
