The Seattle Sounders host the New England Revolution on Saturday (1:00 p.m. PT; JOEtv, YouTube, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360AM | TICKETS) in Week 23 MLS action. Here are three matchups to watch, presented by Toyota.
Nicolás Lodeiro vs. Wilfried Zahibo
Three years into Lodeiro’s tenure in Seattle, it’s still difficult to enumerate all that he brings to the Sounders offense. Yes, he’s a creative No. 10 and can dissect a defense with a well-weighted through-ball. But he also covers vast swaths of ground, and routinely leads the team in pressing and touches.
