LINEUPS: Stefan Cleveland will start in place of Stefan Frei, who is out with a concussion, while Alex Roldán returns after missing the last three games while on international duty.
The last time the Seattle Sounders went on the road to play the Vancouver Whitecaps, things did not go well. The Sounders lost that meeting, 2-0, turning in arguably their most uninspired performance of the season. For a team that’s used to dominating their northern rivals, it had to be at least a little humbling.
Today’s game is potentially pivotal for the Sounders.
