The Seattle Sounders will be hoping to carry on their unbeaten run at home on Wednesday night as they host Orlando City.

Seattle (6-1-4) are currently third in the West with 22 points and have five wins and two ties at CenturyLink Field this season.

The Sounders snapped a three-game winless run last weekend with a 1-0 win over Houston thanks to Cristian Roldan’s lone goal.

Orlando (3-5-3) sit 10th with 11 points and have one win in five games away from home after a 1-0 defeat away to the champions, Atlanta United.

The teams have met four times with Seattle winning three, and they share one tie. Last time they faced was in Florida when the Sounders won 2-1, and in 2017 they played out to a 1-1 stalemate at CenturyLink Field.

Team news

Raul Ruidiaz missed five games but came off the bench late on against Seattle; he made his first start in six games in the win over Houston. Gustav Svensson is out with a hamstring problem, while Victor Rodriguez was forced off early against the Dynamo last weekend.

Orlando will be without Pierre da Silva and Carlos Ascues, while Nani is doubtful with a hamstring injury.

Kickoff is at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday night at CenturyLink Field. The game will be streamed in Canada on DAZN, and will be shown in the U.S. on My65, JOEtv, and YouTubeTV in the Seattle and Orlando regions.
