Seattle Sounders host Nashville at the Lumen Field on Saturday for their clash in the MLS, looking to pick up only their third win of the top-flight campaign. Last week, the Green Raves ended a four-game winless run and returned to winning ways with a narrow 1-0 win over FC Dallas.
Daniel Musovski fired the only goal of the game in the 17th minute as Seattle won for just the second time this season, and the first on the road.
With only nine points in the bag, Brian Schmetzer's side are down in 11th position in the Western Conference following what's been a troubled start to their 2025 league campaign.
Quite similarly, Nashville also bounced back from consecutive league defeats with a narrow 2-1 comeback win over Real Salt Lake in their last outing.
Trending
Dominik Marczuk fired Salt Lake in front after 12 minutes but Daniel Lovitz restored parity for Nashville in the 30th minute. The Boys in Gold then won a penalty in stoppage time, which Samuel Surridge converted to secure a smash-and-grab victory for his side.
It was their fourth win of the campaign in eight matches and, with 13 points in the bag, they occupy sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
