Sounders FC 2 (2-4-0) is on the road once again for an away clash with western conference opponent Colorado Springs Switchbacks (2-1-3). The Switchbacks will provide a stern test for the Rave Green, as the Colorado side has collected four points from two-positive results against Real Monarchs SLC and San Antonio FC, both of whom took all three points from their visits to Starfire stadium.
While the Switchbacks line up in the same formation as S2, a traditional 4-2-3-1, the two sides play drastically different styles. S2 tries to control possession by building from the back, progressing through midfield, unbalancing the opposition and creating high-volume chances in the final third.
