Team News

Seattle
Columbus
  • The Seattle Sounders have a number of injury concerns ahead of their match against Columbus, the biggest of which being the serious injury suffered by Jordan Morris in pre-season. He could be out for the year.
  • Osvaldo Alonso and Roman Torres have recovered from recent injuries, Nicolas Lodeiro and Will Bruin also back. Waylon Francis is carrying an injury for the away side.
  • The Columbus Crew have a few injuries to contend with ahead of the away match against Seattle this weekend, with Mike Grella and Gaston Sauro both ruled out.
  • Other than that, Gregg Berhalter has a full squad of players to choose from.

Prediction

  • The Seattle Sounders are facing something of an existential crisis at the moment. Their form has been poor of late and there are suggestions that they can no longer compete at the top of MLS for players. Frustration is building.
  • The Columbus Crew had gone five games without a win before last week's fixture, but they bounced back with a victory over San Jose. Can they now build on top of that? Their away form hasn't been up to much recently.
  • Neither side have confidence coursing through their veins at the moment. This could be a dull one.
