The 2022 Major League Soccer campaign will extend into new week and will see the Seattle Sounders host Charlotte FC at Lumen Field on Sunday.
The Seattle Sounders have struggled with results domestically of late. They picked up back-to-back wins against Minnesota United and the Houston Dynamo earlier this month to end a three-game losing streak in the league before falling to a 1-0 defeat to the Colorado Rapids in their last game.
The Sounders have picked up just 13 points from 11 league games this season and sit 12th in the Western Conference. They will now be looking to return to winning ways when they play next week.
Charlotte FC have had mixed results so far in their debut Major League Soccer campaign. They picked up an impressive 2-1 comeback win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in their last league outing, with Andre Shinyashiki and Daniel Rios both getting on the scoresheet.
The visitors sit seventh in the Eastern Conference with 16 points from 13 games. They were knocked out in the last 16 of the US Open Cup last time out and will be looking to bounce back from that on Sunday.
