Seattle were almost stunned in their first match of the new season but they pulled through and managed to win it. They will now remain at home for their next task, where they will host Columbus Crew on Saturday. Columbus Crew also started the season with a win and the two teams will now look for another.
Columbus Crew (1-0-0) struggled more than they should in their home match against New York City, who were left with 10 men since the 3rd minute. But Columbus only found a single, winning goal at the 56th minute for the final 0-1. They were terrible on the road in the first half of last season but lost just two of their last eight to finish the season (3-2-3).
Seattle (1-0-0) were really good in the first half of their home match against Chicago but conceded the first goal of the match at the 46th minute. But Morris is poised to have a great season and not only did he pull even, but he also scored the winning goal at the stoppage time for the final 1-2. The Sounders scored at least three goals in five of their last eight home matches last season and will be looking to pick up where they left off.
Seattle beat Columbus by 2-1 on the road last season but have not been very strong as hosts against them in this venue (3-3-3). However, Columbus were terrible on the road last season, especially in the first half, and Seattle are always strong at home. Going with the home team here.
