🗞️ Team News: Seattle Sounders FC

Jordan Morris (unknown injury), Yeimar Gómez Andrade (Muscle injury), Paul Arriola (Cruciate ligament tear) and Kee-hee Kim (Calf injury) will be missing for Seattle Sounders FC manager Brian Schmetzer.

In our view, The Sounders will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to Stefan Frei, Alex Roldan, Jackson Ragen, Jon Bell, Nouhou Tolo, Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Paul Rothrock, Albert Rusnák, Ryan Kent and Jesús Ferreira.

📰 Team News: Minnesota United

Minnesota United boss Eric Ramsay has to choose a team with limited availability. Kipp Keller (Hamstring injury) and Hassani Dotson (Meniscus injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

There’s a good chance that Loons seem likely to utilise a 5-4-1 system by sending out Dayne St. Clair, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Jefferson Díaz, Michael Boxall, Nicolás Romero, Joseph Rosales, Robin Lod, Carlos Harvey, Wil Trapp, Joaquin Pereyra and Kelvin Yeboah.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Minnesota United would be disappointed if they were not to breach the defence of this Seattle Sounders FC outfit, however it probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re expecting both teams to score in a 2-1 winning score for Seattle Sounders FC after the 90. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
