Charlotte FC are seeking their first road win of the season as they travel to Seattle Sounders for an MLS fixture. The hosts have not been at their best this term but given Charlotte's troubles on the road, they should have the edge here.
It has been a difficult campaign for Seattle Sounders this season, although they have played a few games less than the rest of the MLS due to their victorious run in the CONCACAF Champions League. They are currently 12th in the Western Conference and will be keen to make up the ground now that the continental competition is over.
Seattle Sounders Suffered a 1-0 defeat at Colorado Rapids in their previous MLS fixture. That result ended a run of two straight wins for Brian Schmetzer’s men and they will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways.
Despite their unconvincing MLS campaign so far, Seattle Sounders do their best work at Lumen Field. They have won five of their last seven home matches across all competitions and claimed a 3-1 victory over Minnesota United in their previous fixture in front of their fans.
Although results have been mixed so far, Charlotte FC will be satisfied with their performance in their first ever MLS campaign. They sit just two points off the playoff places and claimed a 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps in their previous MLS fixture.
While manager Miguel Angel Ramirez deserves credit for Charlotte’s campaign so far, their mettle will be tested as some of the established teams begin to find their rhythm. They travel to Seattle off the back of a 3-1 defeat at New York Red Bulls in the US Open Cup.
Charlotte FC’s inaugural MLS campaign has been built on a large and vocal home crowd with 15 of their 16 points this season coming at the Bank of America Stadium. They are however winless on the road this term with five defeats and one draw from six away matches in the league.
