Sounders FC 2 (7-12-2) returns to the friendly confines of Starfire Stadium on Sunday, August 6 (6:30 p.m. PT, live-stream on SoundersFC.com), for a home clash with USL Western Conference opponent, Rio Grande Valley FC (6-10-4). The Rave Green will look to snap their current five-match losing streak, with most recent victory coming against Vancouver Whitecaps II back on July 1.
Rio Grande Valley FC, an affiliate of the Houston Dynamo, is also without a win since July, when the Toros garnered a 1-0 victory over Colorado Springs Switchbacks on the road. The Southern Texas side has struggled since then, especially in a lopsided loss away to Orange County SC and recent 2-1 defeat to last-ranked Portland Timbers II last weekend.
