Score Prediction

The Union wants to continue on their winning path so they can escape from the last position of the Eastern Conference. However, the Seattle Sounders want to end their losing streak, first to the Portland Timbers, now to The Oak.

The Sounders must return to their offensive roots, and the Union needs to hold on defense as much as possible and take advantage of the defensive positioning of the Sounders.
