The Sounders have made it nine games unbeaten this season after coming from behind to beat the Los Angeles Galaxy last Saturday. Brian Schmetzer's men have been unstoppable so far, and they'll want to extend their outstanding streak.

Real Salt Lake, however, will make the trip to Seattle holding an undefeated run as well, after claiming the win over Vancouver Whitecaps last Friday. Freddy Juarez's side hasn't been able to record good results on the road, though, and trying to do so against the current leaders makes this one an even harder task.
