Seattle Sounders will host Nashville SC at Lumen Field this Saturday in what promises to be a tactically intriguing clash between two teams on different trajectories.
The Sounders are looking to build momentum after last week's impressive 1-0 win in Dallas, though scoring remains a major concern with just two goals in their last five matches.
Nashville enters with stronger recent form, having won four of their last six MLS fixtures including a dramatic 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake last weekend, setting up a compelling contest where history suggests goals will be at a premium.

Seattle Sounders vs. Nashville SC preview
Despite last weekend's impressive 1-0 victory in Dallas, the Seattle Sounders continue to struggle offensively, netting just twice in their last five MLS matches as they sit an underwhelming 11th in the Western Conference.
Nashville SC arrives at Lumen Field riding momentum from their dramatic last-gasp 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake, with Gary Smith's squad showing particular strength at home where they've won three of their last four.
History suggests a cagey affair — the last three meetings between these sides have produced a total of just two goals, with their most recent clash ending in a scoreless draw.
Seattle's Brian Schmetzer will need more production from attacking options like Pedro de la Vega and Jordan Morris, while Nashville will look to talisman Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge to continue their scoring form.
The Sounders will be without midfield creator Albert Rusnák, a significant absence considering his three goals and three assists this season.
With both clubs having shown defensive solidity but inconsistent attacking output, expect a chess match where tactical discipline could prove decisive.
