In the past three seasons, the Sounders haven’t beaten Atlanta United.
Then again, Atlanta United, the defending MLS Cup champion, has yet to defeat the Sounders.
On Sunday, the two will meet for the first and only time this season as one looks to secure a win in their 0-0-2 series record. The match will kick off at 12:55 p.m. at CenturyLink Field and will put the Sounders’ clean home record on the line — which is one of just three teams in the league undefeated at home.
“It’s a big game for us,” Sounders defender Kelvin Leerdam said.
