Our prediction for this MLS match:
Monday’s game between Seattle Sounders and Charlotte will bring down the curtain on this MLS round. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for Seattle, who just can’t find their best form in the Major League Soccer. The Sounders aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Colorado Rapids, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Charlotte. The good news for the hosts is that El Salvador international Alexander Roldan is back from suspension, while both Dylan Teves and Joao Paulo remain in the recovery room.
The newcomers, on the other hand, did well to beat Vancouver at home in their last league match, but given their poor away record (0-1-5), anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Mexico forward Daniel Rios is pushing for a start after scoring the winner against the Whitecaps, while all Adam Armour, Chris Hegardt, and Vinicius Mello are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Jordy Delem):
Jordy Delem is a Seattle Sounders midfielder who represents Martinique on the international stage. Delem played for the likes of Club Franciscain, Arles-Avignon and Club Franciscain before joining Seattle Sounders in 2016. After making 19 appearances for Seattle Sounders 2 the Martinique footballer signed a first team deal with the MLS club in March, 2017.
It has to be noted that he played as a right back on his Seattle debut against Atlanta United (0-0). Jordy Delem represented Martinique at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but he failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Mexico. The 180-cm-tall player was born in Le Francois, Martinique and he has a contract with Seattle Sounders which expires in December, 2017.
His main position is defensive midfield, but, as previously mentioned, he is capable of playing as a full back as well. Jordy Delem has both Martinique and France passports, but he decided to represent les Matinino on the international stage.
