Preview
Seattle come into this after a 1-1 draw in their previous clash last week against Los Angeles FC where Rusnak and Arango scored for either side.
The point stretched their unbeaten run in the MLS to three matches as they aim to continue the good form. With that point, Seattle stays in 7th place on the league table with 20 points from 14 matches.
They have lost just 1 of their last 5 matches and are the team in-form ahead of a tough run of fixtures.
On the other hand, Sporting KC thumped Union Omaha 6-0 in their Open Cup clash in mid-week prior to which they beat Nashville 2-1 away last week.
Hence, Sporting KC has picked up successive wins to gain some balance to their play after succumbing in two matches earlier this month.
Hernandez and Zusi scored the two goals against Nashville as they jumped to 12th place in the league table with 16 points.
Both sides last met in MLS last year in October where Sporting KC beat Seattle 2-1 away from home.

The hosts are on a good run of form whereas the visitors are finding their way up the ladder. The difference is evident in terms of the league table.
A thumping win in mid-week gives KC confidence ahead of this one but Seattle have been decent in terms of home results.
We expect a closely fought battle irrespective and see Seattle nicking this one.
