Seattle is in a tie for sixth place in the Western conference with 19-points going 5-8-4 on the season while the Rapids are in fourth place in the West with 23-points going 6-4-5 on the season. Colorado had a strong start to the season in MLS betting but have gone just 0-1-4 in their last five games and are desperately searching for their first win since June 5th. The Rapids were able to pull off a 1-1 draw in their last match vs the Kansas City Wizards which is their fourth draw in the past five games.

Seattle has had a busy schedule since the World Cup break playing in; four League matches including a 1-1 draw vs FC Dallas and 1-0 win vs DC United last week, two Open games and a 1-2 loss in friendly competition vs Celtic. This will be the fourth all-time meeting between the two squads since 2009 with a 2-2 draw last year, the Sounders taking a 3-0 win in May of 09 and a 1-0 win for the Rapids in May for this season. While the Sounders vs Rapids will conclude Sunday's MLS soccer action, earlier in the day International friendlies will feature the New York Red Bulls vs Manchester City at 3:30pm EST and the Kansas City Wizards vs Manchester United at 6:00pm EST.
