Alright my good people, we've got a juicy match on our hands. Nashville SC is locking horns with Seattle Sounders FC. Let's break this down for you.
Joe Willis, goalkeeping champ from Nashville, comes with a 7.07 rating and 12 saves to his credit. No need to wear your glasses, you've read that right! On the other side, we've got Stefan Frei guarding the goal for Seattle, sporting a 6.57 rating but only 4 saves. Could be better, huh?
Who makes the earth move under our feet for Nashville? Mark Josh Bauer and Edvard Sandvik Tagseth. Josh, with a rating of 7.27, packs in 2 goals and a 76.3% accurate pass rate. Edvard's not far behind, nail-bitingly close with a 7.15 rating. We've some injuries though. Maximus Ekk, Julian Gaines, Tyler Boyd, and Walker Zimmerman are on the bench nursing injuries. Ah, what a shame!
For Seattle, we have Albert Rusnák (currently doubtful) and Obed Vargas leading the charge. Albert's at a rating of 7.70 and Obed at 7.50, numbers that make Nashville's look junior league. We certainly want to see more from them today.
Remember last time these two danced, nobody could lead the tango - it was a 0-0 draw. Nashville SC's netted a mixed bag of results recently with 2 wins and 2 losses in their last 5 games while Seattle's pulled off only one win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their latest outings. Nashville holds a 4-1-3 record this season, just edging past Seattle's slightly weaker 2-3-3.
And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for. Drumroll, please...
