The term "revenge" gets thrown around rather easily in sports, but the Seattle Sounders will surely be looking for some measure of just that when they play their sixth straight game away from Lumen Field on today. The Sounders lost both of their regular-season matches against Minnesota United and then fell in the First Round of the playoffs despite not losing any of the three matches last year.

The Sounders are also riding a bit high right now, having just eliminated the Vancouver Whitecaps 5-1 on aggregate in the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16, the same team that just handed Minnesota United a 6-0 beat down in league play between those two legs.

Notes

Jordan Morris traveled and is expected to play for the first time since the season-opener, where he went down with a quad injury.
Peter Kingston was called up for a short-term loan following his two-assist performance against the Whitecaps on Wednesday.
The Sounders have an all-time record of 12-3-2 against Minnesota.
Minnesota is now led by former assistant Cameron Knowles after Eric Ramsey left the team at the end of last year.
James Rodriguez is expected to make his home debut for Minnesota.
