Welcome to your match thread for tonight's match-up between Orlando City (7-5-4, 25 points) and the Seattle Sounders (5-7-4, 19 points) at CenturyLink Field. It’s the only scheduled meeting between these cross-conference opponents.
The Lions are 0-2-0 against Seattle in the all-time series since the club joined MLS, and neither previous match was close. The Sounders blew Orlando off the pitch in 2015 in the Lions’ last trip to Seattle, cruising to a 4-0 victory. Right back Tyler Turner picked up a pair of first-half yellow cards in that match and the Lions were forced to play 50+ minutes a man short.
