Seattle Sounders will take on Colorado Rapids up next in Major League Soccer (MLS) at the Lumen Field on Saturday. Seattle has one point from their first two matches whereas Colorado has four from three so far.
The hosts began the season with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Los Angeles and then were held to a goalless draw by Austin. They will be hoping to pick up their first win of the season in their third attempt.
After a heavy defeat against Portland Timbers and then a 1-1 draw with Nashville, Colorado picked up their first win of the season in their most recent outing, against Real Salt Lake. They will be hoping to draw confidence from that result to fight away from home.
