LINEUPS: The Sounders made seven changes from their weekend match, but will give Jordan Morris, Yeimar Gomez Andrade, Jackson Ragen and Alex Roldan a third start of the week. Among the changes are Jon Bell, Danny Leyva, João Paulo and Andrew Thomas getting their first starts of the season.

The Seattle Sounders come into tonight’s game in an enviable position, thanks to a 3-1 road win the first leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup series with Antigua GFC. The Sounders simply need to avoid giving up at least three goals to move on, but even if they do that would still be in solid position to advance as long as they can score a few goals of their own.

The biggest complicating factor promises to be fixture congestion. The Sounders will be playing their third match in the space of one week, while Antigua will be playing just their second match in the past two weeks.

Even a rotated lineup, though, should give the Sounders a solid chance to move on. Among the Leg 1 starters who came off the bench over the weekend were Pedro de la Vega, Jesús Ferreira and Paul Arriola.

Here are the scenarios for the Sounders to advance:

Notes

Thanks to the road-goals tiebreaker, the only way this match will go to extra time is if Antigua win 3-1.
If the match goes to extra time, there will be two 15-minute periods, followed by a penalty shootout if the score is still tied. There are no more road-goal tiebreakers in extra time.
Kalani Kossa-Rienzi has signed a short-term loan deal and will be eligible to play in this this game as well as Saturday’s game against Real Salt Lake.
