On the other hand, the Seattle Sounders, despite an uneven start to the season, are still a force to be reckoned with. The team faces significant absences, with key players such as Pedro de la Vega, Stefan Frei, Albert Rusnák, and João Paulo out due to injuries. This undoubtedly puts additional pressure on the visiting team, especially when confronted with the challenge of facing such a solid opponent as the Union.
The match will be broadcast live on MLS Season Pass, available on the Apple TV platform, allowing fans to enjoy every moment of this exciting duel no matter where they are. Additionally, listeners can tune in to 950 KJR AM and El Rey 1360AM radio stations for radio coverage of the game.
Despite the absences of the Seattle Sounders, the Union cannot underestimate the determination and quality of the visiting team. The clash between these two teams offers the perfect opportunity for lesser-used players to shine and showcase their worth. Players like Josh Atencio, who has demonstrated his midfield prowess, could be crucial to Seattle Sounders' strategy in this game. Another aspect to consider is both teams' ability to score late in the game. While the Union has shown the ability to score goals in crucial moments, the Seattle Sounders also have the potential to surprise, even amidst the challenges they face.
