Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Colorado Rapids and Seattle Sounders lock horns on Saturday. Brian Schmetzer’s visitors have won their last two visits to the Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado were left spitting feathers last Sunday, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Houston Dynamo, conceding a 96th-minute equaliser. Chris Armas’ men have gone unbeaten in five of their most recent seven MLS matches, winning four, since March.
Colorado have 15 points from nine matches to sit fifth in Western Conference, level on points with fourth-placed Portland Timbers.
Meanwhile, Seattle picked up consecutive wins for the first time this season as they edged out Nashville 3-0 at Lumen Field last time out. Before that, Schmetzer’s men had snapped their five-game winless run across competitions on April 13 with a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas at the Toyota Stadium.
