There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Seattle Sounders have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Seattle Sounders have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
