After many weeks spent comfortably in a playoff position, a 5 game losing streak has sent Seattle Sounders FC 2 plummeting down the table. It is kind of shocking how quickly S2 has gotten themselves in a dire position. While they are only 3 points out of the 8th spot, all of the teams between S2 and the playoffs have a minimum of 2 games in hand. Confidence can be a fickle beast, and this young S2 side is struggling to lure it back into the fold. Facing Rio Grande Valley FC, a team that is just 2-6-2 on the road, at Starfire is a very good chance for S2 to get at least a point and slow the fall a bit.
