Sitting 13th in the Western Conference standings, Seattle Sounders have struggled to find consistent form for a long stretch, with only one win across their last 10 matches in all competitions. They previously recorded three straight draws, and have clearly hit a tough bottleneck that they cannot break through to turn their fortunes around. The visiting Sporting Kansas City, who currently sit at the very bottom of the overall league table, are in far worse shape. Their recent run of 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses has made losing streaks the norm, which has dealt a heavy blow to the entire squad's morale. While both sides are mired in a poor run of form at the moment, the specific patterns and root causes behind their respective slumps are noticeably different, making this clash far more unpredictable than it may first appear. Seattle Sounders hold one of the most consistent home records among all top sides in the MLS Western Conference. Their attack operates at a high level of organization
