Sounders getting a win will strengthen their grip on the playoff destiny. It’s time to get back on a winning streak against a club still searching for answers.
Seattle has a massive opportunity in San Jose and while they will not be in the prized 6th playoff spot with a win, they’ll sit in 7th right behind Portland with game(s) in hand. Portland kicks off at the same time against an RSL side that should be able to get a point off them, meaning a two point difference with two in hand if Seattle can beat San Jose.
