The Seattle Sounders (13-9-10, 49 points) take the field tonight against Real Salt Lake (12-16-4, 40 points) in their final home match of the regular season at Lumen Field.
Leagues Cup champions Seattle enter the night in fifth place in the Western Conference and can secure that position with a win. The Sounders have been strong at home this year (9-1-6) and aim to finish their campaign on a high note.
But they’ll be short-handed, with 10 players unavailable due to injuries and international duty, and Albert Rusnák suspended for one game. Three players have been called up from Tacoma Defiance, Seattle’s MLS NEXT Pro affiliate, to bolster the roster.
Expect efficient output from Danny Musovski, Seattle’s leading scorer, who continues to deliver goals at an impressive rate whenever called upon.
Real Salt Lake, sitting on the playoff bubble, can clinch a postseason berth with a win tonight. These teams last met in early March, when RSL earned a 2–0 home victory, and Seattle will be eager to even the season series.
