Seattle look to home comforts against Vancouver
1579
Seattle Sounders are another side that will be eager to return to home turf to their CenturyLink Field as they prepare for the visit of Vancouver Whitecaps in what is another all-Western Conference tussle this Saturday evening.
A four-match away sequence certainly did Seattle Sounders no favours at all as they gained just 1 point out of a possible 12 on the table after they drew 0-0 at Philadelphia Union, they then suffered 3 defeats on the trot at Sporting Kansas, Dallas and Montreal Impact respectively.
However, this recent lean period can all be forgotten with all three points back on home turf at their CenturyLink Field against Vancouver Whitecaps, and the hosts look well set to maintain their unbeaten start at home in this clash.
Along with Los Angeles and Houston Dynamo, Seattle Sounders still remain unbeaten in their own backyard in this season’s MLS, winning 4 and drawing 2 of their first 6 home matches of this campaign.
Indeed, Seattle are unbeaten in their last 8 matches at home and with the likes of forwards Ruidiaz (6 goals) and Morris (4 goals) up front, the hosts look well placed for further success here.
Onto Vancouver Whitecaps, and the visitors have also put together an unbeaten run which has seen the Canadian side avoid defeat in their last 6 matches on the trot in the MLS.
However, Vancouver have produced a more modest return as 5 of these 6 matches have ended in draws while their 2-1 home win over Dallas has been their only highlight in their last 7 matches overall.
Indeed, just 4 wins out of their last 18 matches overall indicates a vulnerability on Vancouver’s part, particularly as 3 of the 4 wins were on home turf at their BC Place Stadium.
The visitors do bring a 4-match unbeaten run away from home into this Saturday night clash, but again, wins on the road have been light on the ground.
4 wins from their last 17 matches on their travels also indicates a poor record on the road for Vancouver Whitecaps and they’ve captured just 1 win away from home this season to date.
In addition, Seattle Sounders have won the last 4 meetings against Vancouver Whitecaps on home turf and this trend could continue this evening.
