Seattle Sounders FC have never had a home loss to the Houston Dynamo and tonight shall not be the night, if you have anything to do with it. With a break of more than a week for about two-thirds of the roster, it is vital for Brian Schmetzer’s Rave Green Army to earn three points. Both teams lost players to injury and stupid non-international-break callups.
Look for the Sounders to try and get out early, maybe through new and inventive set-pieces. Dynamo are a big counter team, so Seattle must possess in a way that prevents that.
