The Seattle Sounders ride a five-game league unbeaten streak into Sporting Park today. They’ll be lining up against a team very much going in the opposite direction, with Sporting KC having lost six straight across all competitions. Even worse, they’ve lost all six of those games by at least two goals and allowed at least three in each of them.
The Sounders will also be looking to extend some impressive road form, which has seen them go 3-1-1 in league play so far and not having allowed a goal since Feb. 28 against Real Salt Lake. That’s a road shutout streak of 403 minutes.
Sporting KC, meanwhile, has been shut out in each of their past two games and are riding a goal-less run that is now 243 minutes long.
The new issue of IV: The Sounder at Heart magazine is now available for pre-order. Issue 2 will focus on Seattle’s role in the 2026 World Cup.
