Struggling Colorado Rapids will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Seattle Sounders in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Colorado have less rest than Seattle Sounders in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Major League Soccer game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Minnesota United, so at least Colorado Rapids are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Seattle Sounders have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Major League Soccer trip to LA Galaxy.
