Brian Schmetzer’s boys will highlight Group B of the Western Conference, where they’re expected to have a somewhat light path towards the round of 16. However, they’ll need to back that narrative up with their performances on the pitch.

A lot of pressure

Being the defending champions, the Seattle Sounders will definitely have a lot of pressure on their shoulders, as they’ll look to build on last year’s success by winning back-to-back MLS titles.

They will lean on their captain and designated player Nico Lodeiro and they’ll be one of the teams to beat out of the Western Conference. Notably, they have the 6th highest odds to win the trophy despite coming off a championship year, so they’ll have to prove their doubters wrong.
