Coming off a three-match draw streak, the Seattle Sounders head to the road. Far from favorites, the opportunity for points exists as FC Dallas is running away from the MLS Cup Playoffs and into the dire lands below the red line. Seattle will be without Jordan Morris, Brad Evans, and Calum Mallace. Dallas has no one injured.
Center referee for the match will be Hilario Grajeda. Guido Gonzales Jr. is manning replay.
Sounders are undefeated in their last 12 matches. Schmetzer’s group enters the weekend 3rd in the West and 7th in the Shield race. They are 11-7-10 +7 overall and an above average 3-6-5 -3 record on the road. This is their first meeting with FC Dallas in 2017.
The Toros are in free-fall. FCD’s last win was July 22nd, and their winless run is now at 8 games. Overall they are 6th in the West, barely above the red line, with a 9-8-10 +1 record. Dallas is league average at home, with a 6-2-6 +7 performance at Toyota Stadium.
