Seattle Sounders host Atlanta United at the Lumen Field on Sunday in Major League Soccer action, looking to return to winning ways after five winless games.
With 10 wins and 36 points from 24 games, the Sounders are currently fourth in the Western Conference standings but have been through a rough patch lately.
Brian Schmetzer's side collected just one point from their last two league matches before entering the 2023 Leagues Cup, where Seattle lost both their group matches to exit in the first round.
On the other hand, Atlanta United are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings with 35 points from 24 games. Their trajectory lately has been the same as Seattle Sounders.
Atlanta's last two matches before the Leagues Cup were winless, and the Five Stripes lost both their group matches in the cup to bow out in the first round.
