HOME SWEET HOME: After defeating Tigres at Lumen Field 3-1 in Leg 2 on Wednesday, the Sounders have five of their next six contests inside the friendly confines of Lumen Field, whose renovations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup had forced the Sounders to spend the last two months away from Seattle.

PLAYER TO WATCH: Marcel Hartel, M
With no João Klauss or Eduard Löwen, the attacking impetus has fallen on Hartel, who leads the team with two goals in MLS and another in the U.S. Open Cup. The 30-year-old German is creative in midfield and the final third, and his 10 Key Passes also leads St. Louis.
