It's Seattle Sounders FC's first time on ESPN2 (2 pm) in 2015. New York Red Bulls come to the Puget Sound where they will attempt to limit a Seattle attack that regularly puts up goals against them. The Sounders average two goals a game against RBNY in the friendly confines of CenturyLink Field.
New York and star Bradley Wright-Philips will need to break through a Sounders defense that's only given up 3 goals in six home matches (yes, that's just the San Jose loss). Red Bull is a bit soft on wide play giving up three goals via cross and two more via corner, unfortunately for Seattle they've only scored once via those methods.
