Last year’s Major League Soccer runner’s up, Seattle Sounders, face a tough away trip this weekend as they come up against the might of Thierry Henry and his New York Red Bulls team-mates at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey on Sunday night.

The former Arsenal superstar has hardly featured for his new side since getting injured three months ago, but he is strongly rumoured to be starting this fixture. This could potentially galvanise New York or, more likely, hinder their attacking thrust, because Henry is a player who relies on his sharpness and pace and I can’t see him causing too much trouble for the robust Sounders’ defence in only his fourth game since late April.

I can see this occasion playing out like the Sounders last two visits to Jersey, which both ended in only one goal being scored, a 1-0 win for New York last March, and a 1-0 for Seattle in 2010.   The game previous to that, at the Giants Stadium, also finished in an under 2.5 goal result, as the Red Bulls and the Sounders drew 1-1 in June ’09.  So, historically speaking, this is always a tight fixture; a subconscious factor that can have a real impact on player performances.

Another reason the Sounders will be feeling they can get a result on Sunday is the return of their Austrian goalkeeper, Michael Gspurning. The pre-season signing was in inspired form in his first seven appearances for the club, letting in just three goals amidst a string of high quality saves and a reliable command of his 18 yard area.  In the 12 games since his absence, Seattle have conceded 16 goals.  Unlike a centre forward, a goalkeeper can find his way back into form relatively quickly.

With Henry’s lack of sharpness and Red Bulls top scorer Kenny Cooper not having found the net since May, I can envisage this one ending in under 2.5 goals.
