In their first trip to Minnesota since 2008, the Seattle Sounders are poised to continue a multi-game road unbeaten streak. Minnesota United is an average home team that will be without their best attacking player, as well as a few of the defenders that helped them recover from their horrid start.
The Loons tend to offer space to their opponents, defending deep. They also have errors in defending set-pieces. Seattle must take advantage of both of these things. An early set-piece goal should reduce the fouling that often plagues Nicolas Lodeiro, Jordan Morris, and Clint Dempsey.
