Seattle Sounders FC desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 20 at 3:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Colorado Rapids come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Seattle Sounders FC travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
