Seattle Sounders host Vancouver Whitecaps in Cascadia Cup rivalry

The Seattle Sounders are set to host the Vancouver Whitecaps at Lumen Field this Sunday in a Cascadia Cup rivalry match. Seattle Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer expressed a desire to replicate the team’s success from their March CONCACAF Champions Cup encounters, where Seattle won both legs to advance to the quarter-finals.

Both teams enter the match facing recent struggles. The Sounders are currently on a six-game losing streak in MLS and struggled during the group stages of the Leagues Cup. They currently sit ninth in the Western Conference with 24 points.

The Whitecaps lead the Western Conference standings with 34 points, though they are winless in their last four league games. While Vancouver has shown strong defensive and attacking statistics this season, they have been unable to secure a victory in their most recent outings.
