Colorado Rapids lock horns with the Seattle Sounders at DSG Park in MLS Western Conference action on Saturday.
Both sides have four wins to their name this season and are struggling in the lower half of the table. The hosts suffered a 2-1 loss against Sporting Kansas City in their previous outing, a game that saw two players sent off from either side in injury time in the second half.
The Seattle Sounders have finally found some form and have recorded two wins in a row in the league. Raúl Ruidíaz's goal in the first half helped them secure a 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo last time around.
