Sounders vs. Orlando City, live stream: Game time, TV schedule, lineups
LINEUPS: Héber is the only change to the Sounders’ starting lineup with Raúl Ruidíaz on bereavement.
The Seattle Sounders face a virtual must-win match against Orlando City on Saturday. The Sounders are in the midst of a four-game winless run and have won just 1 of 5 home games after starting the season 4-0-1 at Lumen Field. Despite their recent struggles, they remain just four points out of first place in the Western Conference, but are also just two points clear of seventh-place Real Salt Lake.
Orlando City come into the match in solid if uneven form, having gone winless in their past two but 3-1-4 in their past eight. They currently have the best road record in the Eastern Conference at 4-2-2, albeit without traveling west of Minnesota.
Unlike the Sounders, they are pretty much at full strength with their only significant injuries to players who rarely feature.
Notes
The Sounders have a 4-1-1 all-time advantage against Orlando City, including a 2-0-1 record at Lumen Field.
Orlando City is unbeaten (3-0-5) in their last eight matches against Western Conference opponents dating back to 2020.
Raúl Ruidíaz is missing the game in order to be with his family after his father passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday.
Today is the Sounders’ annual Pride match. There are a host of pregame activities.
