Seattle Sounders and Real Salt Lake both won their USL opener last week, and will certainly want to capitalize on that success by winning both of their first two league matches of the season.
The Baymen's last league match was won by U.S. striker Jordan Morris.
score twice in a row
The performance was nothing short of perfect, as they thrashed the Colorado Rapids 4-0. Considering the absence of Peruvian goal scorer Raul Rediaz, I think this result is even more pleasing. New attacker Hiba was in fine form, scoring on his debut for the Brazilian striker.
Midfielder Ludlow, who has been involved in all four of the team's goals, is a golden left-footer who is capable of tearing through opponents' defenses and creating a huge threat to Real Salt Lake's backline.
Real Salt Lake rallied from an early deficit to beat Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 in the last 20 minutes thanks to two consecutive goals scored by Zuston Kitt and Damian Darlington.
Salt Lake's top scorer last season, Saji Ogodua, has left the team, so the success of this season will depend on whether Sahuarlianu, Anderson Zulio and Jostein Meilan can score enough goals.
As a goalkeeper in my playing days, I've studied the strikers a bit, and I think McMuff has been quite good, and he's going to have to give his best performance in this match with Zuston Kitt and Marcelo Schwarz, especially if Lourdes is able to come back from his injury in time to ensure that the Baywatch's strikers will be quiet.
However, Seattle Sounders' home win in the last round of the league has made the home fans happy, and I believe they will be able to do the same this time to beat Real Salt Lake at home.
