Mar 20th features a match where Austin plays host to Seattle Sounders in a meeting of these two mismatched Major League Soccer teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Austin sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Portland Timbers. Tuiloma scored the first goal for Portland Timbers in the 62nd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Austin couldn’t manage to score, and Portland Timbers took the shutout win. Austin is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while 11th placed Seattle Sounders is fresh off their 3-2 win against LA Galaxy. Javier Hernández struck first for LA Galaxy in the 6th minute, then Jordan Morris tied it up for Seattle Sounders in the 17th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 72nd minute on a goal by Arreaga Bermello. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Seattle Sounders won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Seattle Sounders’s top weapon lately has been Montero Munoz, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Austin is fortunate enough to have Sebastián Driussi in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals.
