Saturday is a game with a lot of streaks on the line. Sporting Kansas City are on a shutout streak that is up to 376 minutes, a club record. They’ve also posted four straight games that were shutout victories. No team has ever won five straight by shutout.
The Seattle Sounders are on a streak of their own. They have won seven straight games. Since the shootout era ended (2000) no team has ever won eight straight.
It’s possible both things end on Saturday at CenturyLink Field in Seattle and if Sporting could do that and steal a point, most people would be happy.
