Seattle Sounders FC boss Brian Schmetzer has not got a full squad to pick from. Albert Rusnák (Adductor injury), Paul Arriola (Cruciate ligament tear) and Alex Roldan (Hamstring injury) are not ready for selection.

We reckon that The Sounders might utilise a 4-4-2 lineup by sending out Stefan Frei, Nouhou Tolo, Kee-Hee Kim, Yeimar Gomez, Kalani Rienzi, Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Paul Rothrock, Pedro De la Vega, Jesus Ferreira and Danny Musovski.

💡 Prediction

Seattle Sounders FC and Colorado Rapids might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a 0-0 score by the conclusion of this game.
