Seattle Sounders will look to extend their unbeaten run to three MLS games when they host Vancouver Whitecaps at Lumen Field on Saturday.
Both sides have had contrasting fortunes this season, with the Sounders struggling to find their rhythm, posting a 1-3-3 record, while the Whitecaps have shown plenty of promise, standing at 4-1-2.
The hosts are coming into this contest off playing out a goalless stalemate against Dallas the last time out, while the Caps wasted the opportunity to climb into the summit spot in the Western Conference as they suffered a comprehensive 3-1 home defeat at the hands Los Angeles Galaxy.
