Seattle Sounders are looking to return to the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals for the second time while extending the MLS win streak over Liga MX in 2018. Standing in their way is a struggling Chivas Guadalajara squad lacking a few of their best players due to a combination of injury and suspension.
Wins on Mexican soil are still rare. New York Red Bulls took the third-ever win by MLS in Mexico last week. Seattle had the second ever win, several years ago. Toronto FC advanced in their quarterfinal, but did not win in Mexico.
