It's going to be a long weekend for Toronto FC. The Reds had to play on Wednesday night at home against Orlando City, and after taking three points from that affair, they've got a really quick turnaround and an incredibly long road trip to Seattle to face the Sounders in front of what is notorious for being one of the most raucous crowds in the MLS.
At 3 p.m. ET, tune into ESPN for live television coverage of this MLS match on Saturday, May 6, 2017, at CenturyLink Field.

Toronto FC
Odds Analysis
The Sounders haven't been quite as dominant at home as you'd like to think this year, winning just one of their three matches at CenturyLink Field, but that doesn't change the stigma of just how hard it is to play in this building for the opposition. Surely, Seattle will be favored by a wide margin over a Toronto team that has just one win in four away matches, though do keep in mind that the Reds only have one losses away from home as well, a bit part of the reason why they're third best in the East coming into the weekend.
Key Injuries
Both of these teams have major problems in defense at the moment. The Sounders are playing without Chad Marshall, Oniel Fisher and Nouhou Tolo, and USMNT regular, Brad Evans is fighting through a calf strain that he is trying to return from in the coming weeks after sitting out of all competitions since the end of February.
TFC allowed a goal against Orlando City on Wednesday night, but it's hard to complain about the rest of the defense's efforts with four defenders, including Chris Mavinga, Drew Moor, Ashtone Morgan and Jason Hernandez battling knocks. Morgan should be back from the stress fracture in his foot soon, but it's hard to picture him ultimately returning in this one.
Recent Form
The Sounders have been in a goal scoring mood of late. They poured in three against New England after falling behind 3-0 to the Revs, and that came on the heels of traveling to the StubHub Center and beating the Galaxy 3-0 in a building they have never fared well at over the years. Seattle has scored at least one goal in four straight matches, but it also only has one win in those four.
The Reds have been excellent over the course of the last two weeks. The win over Orlando City was the third in a row for TFC, and it was the third straight match in which it scored at least two goals. The big problem is that all those matches were played at home. You're expected to play well on your home pitch here in this league, but what separates the championship teams from the rest of the contenders is the ability to get points on the road, not just in front of your own crowd.
Free Soccer Betting Pick
Sebastian Giovinco might be the hottest striker in the MLS at the moment. He bagged a brace against Orlando City, his second brace in his last three games. All that happened in the middle? Jozy Altidore found the back of the net twice, largely also thanks to the fact that Giovinco has picked up so much attention from defenders at the back.
This match has the potential to be a high scoring one for sure with all of the defensive issues both of these teams have at the moment. We wouldn't be shocked if four goals were split between them, knowing that Clint Dempsey and the Sounders aren't ones to just give up without a fight on their home turf. You only need to see what happened to the Revs as proof of that.
