Now in a five-game winless streak, and with the playoffs just four matches away, the Seattle Sounders desperately need a win. For added incentive, without a win there is no way way they can take the Cascadia Cup in 2017. Vancouver Whitecaps currently sit first in the Western Conference. Wednesday night’s match marks Fredy Montero’s return to Seattle.
Absences: Injury, international duty and suspension
Seattle: Brad Evans, Jordan Morris, and Calum Mallace are out. No one is questionable.
Whitecaps: Matias Laba and David Edgar are out. Christian Bolanos is questionable.
Tony Tchani will be suspended with his next yellow card. Lamar Neagle, Tony Alfaro and Fredy Montero are two yellows away from suspension for accumulation.
Robert Sibiga is the center referee. Allen Chapman is the VAR.
