Seattle Sounders and Minnesota United meet often enough to be considered a pair that knows each other well. Their last meeting ended 0-0, and before that there were 3-3 and 4-2 results alternating. This time the form of both teams is quite different from before, especially for the away side, which is looking for a way out of a bad spell. Seattle Sounders have gone their last five matches without losing, but drew as many as four, mostly entertaining games that ended with a 2-0 win in the latest match. Minnesota United have lost four in a row, with the defense clearly a problem since they conceded in every match during that stretch, while their attack has still been consistent. The game is likely to be open and end-to-end, because both teams tend to concede more than they score in many phases of a match. If Minnesota United can settle and avoid conceding early like in several recent matches, the game will drag on and finish closely contested. What to watch is how well Minnesota United can hold their defense together in the opening phase.
