Player to watch: Albert Rusnak
Some say Albert Rusnak is the most important Sounders player this season. And they are right! The attacking midfielder has been at his lethal best throughout the entire campaign, and we expect to see the very best from him this week as well.

Rusnak tops Seattle Sounders’ goalscoring chart
With eight goals under his belt, the 31-year-old Slovakian player is the key scorer for the home side. His presence on the pitch will put pressure on our Seattle Sounders vs San Jose Earthquakes predictions, as he also has four assists to his name.
