We said: Seattle Sounders 2-0 Minnesota United

Their record may not look impressive, but without the CCL or U.S. Open Cup to think about anymore, Schmetzer and his side should be laser-focused on turning this campaign around, and they have enough experience in these situations to know how to recover. Even though the Loons have seven more points than Seattle, Heath does not have the kind of depth that the Sounders possess, and we expect this match could be the start of a turnaround campaign for the Rave Green.
