Sounders FC 2 (9-15-2, 29 points) returns home to the friendly confines of Starfire Stadium on September 9 (7:00 p.m. PT, live-stream on SoundersFC.com) for a crucial Western Conference clash with Reno 1868 FC (14-5-6, 48 points). The Rave Green will look to reverse their fortunes from their last outing, a 2-0 loss away to Phoenix Rising FC, in which they dominated proceedings for long stretches of the match, but ultimately lost behind two goals against the run of play.
Saturday’s clash marks the second all-time meeting between these two sides. Reno, an affiliate of the San Jose Earthquakes, has gone from strength-to-strength since beating S2 at home, collecting 40 points in the interim, including a historic 9-0 win over LA Galaxy II.
