After falling short of first place in the MLS Western Conference due to a midweek defeat, the Seattle Sounders will look to rebound against Orlando City on Saturday.
The Sounders, who are currently third in the rankings, return to Lumen Field, where they have only allowed five goals in their first ten home games.

While LAFC trailed Western Conference leaders St Louis City by a goal differential coming into Wednesday's match, Seattle was only a point behind the top two.
Brian Schmetzer's team, on the other hand, were unable to recover from an early setback, as Los Angeles seized the lead just 54 seconds into the game and went on to win.
Despite placing 11th last year, the Rave Green is back in the battle for playoff qualifying this year, and they have certainly managed to remain resolute on home turf.
Only five of Seattle's 18 league goals have come at Lumen Field, and the team generally has the fourth-tightest defensive record in the league.
After losing at New England last week to halt a six-game unbeaten streak, Orlando's attempt to return with a win was eventually thwarted on Wednesday.
In the last minutes of Philadelphia's trip to Florida, the visitors grabbed a 2-2 draw from the jaws of defeat, extending the Lions' unbeaten record at home to five games.
Orlando has finished in the top seven of the Eastern Conference for the last three years, and despite this setback, they are on track to do so again this season, as they are seventh after 18 games and still have a chance to make the playoffs.
