The Seattle Sounders look to build on their impressive 3-2 road win over Sporting Kansas City as they host Colorado Rapids at Lumen Field in a compelling midweek MLS clash.
While Seattle's attack clicked into high gear last time out with Jordan Morris, Albert Rusnak and Jesus Ferreira all finding the net, their defense showed concerning vulnerabilities late in the match.
Colorado enters the fixture fresh off a commanding 3-0 victory over Vancouver, though their road form remains troubling with no away wins since March.

Seattle Sounders vs. Colorado Rapids preview
Seattle Sounders are looking to build on their impressive 3-2 road win over Sporting Kansas City as they welcome Colorado Rapids to Lumen Field on Wednesday night.
Brian Schmetzer's side showed their attacking prowess last time out with Jordan Morris, Albert Rusnak, and Jesus Ferreira all finding the net in a dominant first half, though defensive concerns linger after conceding two late goals.
The Rapids arrive fresh off a convincing 3-0 home victory against Vancouver, with Rafael Navarro continuing his hot streak, having now scored in three of his last four matches.
Colorado's road form remains a significant weakness, however, as they haven't secured an away win since March and have conceded multiple goals in four of their last six road games.
Both teams sit in playoff position with Seattle (33 points) edging Colorado (29 points) in the standings, though the Sounders will be without several key players including Stefan Frei and João Paulo due to injuries.
The sides played to a 1-1 draw in their last meeting in April, but Seattle has historically dominated this fixture, going unbeaten in their last six encounters with Colorado.
