LINEUP NOTES:

  • Schmetzer makes four changes from the Sounders' home match against New England Revolution with Jonathan Bell, Josh Atencio, Reed Baker-Whiting and Andrew Thomas replacing Jackson Ragen, Obed Vargas, Léo Chú and Stefan Frei.
  • Sounders FC and Republic FC have only met once before in a competitive match. Sacramento defeated Seattle 2-1 in extra time at Heart Health Park in the 2018 U.S. Open Cup Round of 32.
  • Should Seattle win Tuesday's matchup, it would advance to the Semifinals and face the winner of the LAFC/New Mexico United match being played on July 10.
