Everything you need to know about Sporting KC-Sounders

The Seattle Sounders visit Sporting KC later today in a bit of uneven form. Although they’ve gone 4-1-4 in their past nine across all competitions, it would be a stretch to suggest they’re actually playing good soccer. Still, that’s quite a bit better than Sporting KC’s form, as they’ve now gone winless in 10 and are on a seven-game losing streak.
