Seattle Sounders host Minnesota United at CenturyLink Field on Saturday, September 26 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seattle Sounders have no fresh fitness worries to report, and the key men who have carried their attack all season look set to start: the attacking midfielder Paul Rothrock, who leads the group with 5 goals and 22 chances created, alongside the midfielder Cristian Roldan and the striker Albert Rusn\u00e1k, whose 53 chances created top the squad. Minnesota United arrive with a similarly clean team sheet, built around the striker Kelvin Yeboah, who has scored 14 goals this season, plus the midfielder Anthony Markanich and the attacking midfielder Joaqu\u00edn Pereyra, who has created 68 chances from open play.<\/p>\n

Seattle have drawn 5 straight matches without turning parity into points gained, stuck 13th in the Western Conference<\/a> despite a goal difference of -5 that is still healthier than what Minnesota can boast. Minnesota have lost 4 of their last 5 games, drawing the other, sitting 14th on the same 29 points with a difference of -7. Expect a cautious opening spell at Lumen Field, but with Rothrock and Rusn\u00e1k supplying Seattle’s chance creation and Yeboah a constant threat at the other end, this looks set to be decided by fine margins rather than a flood of goals.<\/p>\n\n\n
