The Story:

The Lions face yet another quick turnaround, traveling cross-country to take on the Seattle Sounders on Saturday.

City enters the weekend looking to keep its strong road form intact, one of three teams in all of Major League Soccer with four wins or more away from home this season.

Seattle comes into Saturday having gone four-consecutive matches without a win, holding a 0-2-2 record in that span.

Lions' forward Duncan McGuire has found the back of the net in each of the side's last two contests, currently leading the squad with six goals in 2023.

Quote of the Week:

"We have a quick turnaround against Seattle. Our boys need to recover, the boys that are coming from a national team will join us too. It's a long trip, but this is our job. We have to prepare for this next game once again and we are optimistic and we're going to keep going."
