Albert Rusnák has taken the reins recently as the focal point of the Sounders’ attack as the No. 10, and he’ll need to have another productive day in the middle of the park against Löwen. Rusnák operates well in tight spaces, and how well he can suck defenses in before spraying balls wide to Léo Chú and Cristian Roldan on the wings will go a long way in Seattle leaving St. Louis with a result. Löwen, meanwhile, has been a wild success in his first season in MLS. The 26-year-old German is tied for third in the league with 14 assists to go along with six goals.
