The Seattle Sounders are aiming to maintain their strong run of form at home in MLS, but they face a tough challenge against Sporting Kansas City.
Brian Schmetzer's team bounced back spectacularly, securing a dominant 4-0 victory over Leagues Cup champions Columbus Crew in their most recent match on the road.
Currently positioned fifth in the Western Conference, the Sounders have the advantage of playing four of their final six league matches at Lumen Field.
On the other side, Kansas City are in good spirits, having gone unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions, including earning a spot in the US Open Cup final.
However, they come off a disappointing result where they surrendered a late 89th-minute equalizer against the New York Red Bulls, adding to the 22 points they've dropped from leading positions this season, the joint-highest in MLS.
