Straight off of a victory over Timbers 2, Seattle Sounders FC 2 head north to try and stretch their lead in the hypothetical Cascadia 2 Cup with a result against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2. Last season S2 brought something extra against Cascadia opponents, earning 5 of their 9 wins and going 5-2-1. They will certainly hope they can replicate that form against their two biggest rivals this year.
Historically, S2 starting lineups have featured less First Team players when the team is on the road so this week’s XI will probably look more like the one that lost in week 1.
