The Seattle Sounders are taking on the Montreal Impact on Saturday (7 p.m. PT; JOEtv, YouTube TV, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM | TICKETS). Here are three matchups to watch:
Chad Marshall vs. Nacho Piatti
One of Major League Soccer’s most effective playmakers, Ignacio “Nacho” Piatti loves to cut inside and take on defenders 1-v-1. He scored 17 goals each of the last two seasons and has shown no signs of slowing down at age 33. Chad Marshall is one of the best shut-down defenders in the league, and his efforts against Piatti will go a long way in helping Seattle try and earn its first clean sheet of the young season.
