It’s pretty simple. If the Sounders get a road point they extend their unbeaten run and take home the Cascadia Cup. If they win the Seattle Sounders can move as high as fifth and would continue their record performance. There’s a lot on the line in British Columbia, too.

Carl Robinson may be on shaky ground. The Vancouver Whitecaps are in midst of their own surge, but it has only put them on the cusp of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Though they’ve sold Alphonso Davies the superstar remains in Vancouver, bossing waiting for his next challenge.
