The Seattle Sounders visit the Colorado Rapids on Saturday (6:00 p.m. PT; JOEtv, YouTube TV, 1090 KJR AM, El Rey 1360AM) in Week 27 MLS action. Here are three matchups to watch, presented by Toyota.
Nicolás Lodeiro vs. Jack Price
On any given matchday, the Sounders’ possession-focused attacking scheme flows through Lodeiro. But with ten First Team players unavailable due to international call-ups, the diminutive Uruguayan will play even more of an outsized role in driving the Sounders forward. With eight goals and 12 assists to his name this season, Lodeiro’s quality in the final third is undeniable.
