Seattle Sounders host sophomore side San Diego FC at Lumen Field on Saturday night, with the Rave Green fourth in the Western Conference and SDFC needing a circuit-breaker after taking just taking just three points and no wins from their last eight.
Kick-off is Saturday, May 9, at 10:30 PM ET.
Seattle sit fourth on 20 points after a 1-1 draw at Sporting KC last weekend. The clean sheet count — five in nine — is the league average for top sides. San Diego came into the season with plenty of intruigue after a record-breaking expansion year, peaked early, and have since lost five of their last six, conceding 14 in the process. Anders Dreyer has been the headline player, with five goals and 18 shots on target.
Bet365 price the Sounders as the home favorite at -145 with SDFC out at +333.
