Tune in on matchdays for a one hour pre-match show and one hour post-match show as Colin Miller and Corey Basso call the action live on AM730. Saturday’s pre-match show kicks off at 5:00 p.m. PT at whitecapsfc.com/am730.
Here are Colin’s keys for Saturday’s big match in Seattle.
Isolate centre backs
Seattle has proven to be the best team in MLS over the past several seasons, and they come into this weekend’s match unbeaten after 10 matches.
One area where the ‘Caps can attack them to generate scoring chances is by playing diagonal balls between their centre backs and fullbacks.
The Sounders play with three centre backs, but they are not necessarily as comfortable defending 1v1, so if the ‘Caps can get at them in space they could find success.
Tracking Ruidiaz
The movement of striker Raul Ruidiaz is among the best in MLS.
He is very clever at pulling off of centre backs.
It will be extremely important for the ‘Caps centre backs to be aware of his movement and match his runs.
Build on Wednesday’s attack
The attacking intensity of the ‘Caps in the final 35 minutes of their midweek match was very good.
They were relentless in pushing forward and creating chances against the Galaxy.
There were so many positives. Now they need to carry that momentum forward and build on that attacking intensity.
