Seattle Sounders probable lineup
Head coach Brian Schmetzer is expected to start the Seattle Sounders in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Thomas, Rusnák and Joveljić among the probable starters, according to pre-match reports. Schmetzer confirmed that Jordan Morris is available for the match.
Yeimar Gómez and Danny Musovski are on the Seattle injury list, according to WhoScored and Fotmob. Paul Rothrock is also listed as unavailable by Fotmob, but Squawka names him in the starting lineup in its preview and says Seattle has no physical problems. Squawka also includes Gómez in its probable XI. The sources disagree on these three players, so the official lineup should be checked before kick-off. The sources did not report any suspended players for Seattle.
Houston Dynamo probable lineup
Pre-match reports list Bond, Guilherme and Bogusz among the probable Houston starters. Squawka and Fotmob suggest a 4-2-3-1 formation, while WhoScored and Statz point to a 4-3-3 with Bouzat, Herrera and Bogusz.
Agustín Resch is cleared after serving a one-match suspension and is expected to replace Antonio Carlos in defence, according to WhoScored. Fotmob lists head coach Ben Olsen as suspended for the match. Squawka, however, says Houston arrives without absences. The sources disagree, and the club has not confirmed the situation.
Guilherme is Houston’s top scorer this season, with 16 goals from 85 shots, according to Squawka. Bogusz has scored 8 goals from 91 attempts.
