Seattle Sounders take on FC Dallas on Tuesday
Seattle Sounders take on FC Dallas on Tuesday

Seattle Sounders can climb to a playoff spot in the MLS Western Conference as they take on FC Dallas at the Lumen Field on Tuesday.

Having conceded four defeats in their last five games, Seattle Sounders find themselves sitting ninth in the Western Conference standings. They snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over Colorado Rapids on July 23.

But they were dealt a 2-1 defeat by Los Angeles FC in their latest outing. It was their third consecutive defeat on the road and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they take on FC Dallas.

Against LAFC, Brian Schmetzer's men took the lead in the 14th minute by virtue of an own goal from Jesus Murillo. However, LAFC hit back through Kwadwo Opoku and Carlos Vela in the final 10 minutes of the first half.

The Sounders have won nine, drawn two and lost 11 of their 22 games this season and it goes without saying that they've had an underwhelming campaign so far. They will be hoping to return to winning ways on home soil as a victory could take them above Portland Timbers and put them back in a playoff spot.

Meanwhile, FC Dallas will be looking to register a third successive win on Tuesday. They've registered narrow 1-0 wins over Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles Galaxy in their latest outings.

Franco Jara scored the only goal of the game to help Dallas win against the LA Galaxy after they struggled to stamp their authority for most of the game. They've accumulated 35 points from 23 games and are currently sitting fourth in the Western Conference standings.

They could temporarily move to third with a win or a draw against the Seattle Sounders as they are currently tied on points with Minnesota United.
