Thanks to their dismal performance against Real Salt Lake, the Seattle Sounders certainly have their work cut out for them if they want to advance in Leagues Cup play. Not only do the Sounders need to beat CF Monterrey tonight, but they’ll need to do it by at least three goals. That’s because Monterrey scored their own 3-0 win over RSL on Wednesday.
To raise the challenge level, the Sounders will also be missing presumed starters Cristian Roldan (concussion) and Stefan Frei (finger). Still, the Sounders should be able to field something reasonably close to a first-choice lineup, even if it’s not exactly the ideal one. Jordan Morris should get his first Sounders start since May 27 and we’re likely to see the return of Nicolás Lodeiro to the starting lineup.
It’s entirely possible that Monterrey could rotate their lineup some, as they have quite a bit of room for error and will be playing on short rest. The only scenarios that would see them eliminated involve losing by more than three goals or losing by exactly three goals while picking up a bunch of cards.
