Seattle Sounders had an impressive, motivating start to this MLS season. They have sealed a 4-0 victory over Colorado Rapids in their opening fixture. The team finished outside the safe zone in the past season and it seems that they are determined to deliver a much better display this time.

Meawnhile, Real Salt Lake was having a five-match winless streak before sealing a victory over Vancouver on the road.
