Off the back of two absolutely wild matches, Seattle Sounders FC 2 make a brief return to Cascadia most likely hoping for a less dramatic win. S2 should have a more complete set of players available to choose from this week, though Irvin Parra, Ray Saari and Sam Rogers played down a man for 55 minutes on Wednesday so they may be limited. With Parra needing a rest and Felix Chenkam possibly injured we could see Vic Mansaray play for S2 for the first time in 2017.
The Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 sit 5 point behind S2 in the West standings and have been struggling of late. They are also the worst defensive team S2 has come up against in weeks. It should be noted however that WFC2 have dominated Cascadia so far this season, with 3 of their 4 wins coming against S2 and T2. Cascadia 2 cup is a two team race right now, and S2 can pull even with WFC2 on points with a win. A loss by S2 probably puts WFC2 out of reach so this sets up to be a crucial tie in the Cascadia 2 race.
