Seattle Sounders vs New York Red Bulls Prediction 6 September 2026
🔊 Seattle Sounders come into this match on the back of a difficult run, having gone five games without a win. New York Red Bulls have also been inconsistent, losing three of their last five matches.

Head-to-head statistics Seattle Sounders - New York Red Bulls
Seattle Sounders Team Overview
Seattle Sounders are going through a notable slump, having won just one of their last ten matches. In the five matches before this one, they lost three times and drew twice. Their average over that period is exactly 1 goal scored and 1.8 conceded per game, pointing to a shaky defence and limited attacking output. The season-long numbers back that up: they average just 1.14 goals scored and 1.38 conceded per match.

NY Red Bulls Team Overview
New York Red Bulls have not been consistent on the road, though they do score at a reasonable rate. Over their last five matches, the visitors have recorded three defeats, one win and one draw, which reflects how difficult they are finding it to pick up points. Across their last ten matches, they have averaged 1.3 goals scored and 1.8 goals conceded per game, which highlights the vulnerability of their defence. Notably, a recent trend shows that New York Red Bulls rarely exceed 1.5 goals scored - their team total came in under that mark in six of their last seven league matches. At the same time, their away matches have frequently been high-scoring affairs: Total Goals - Over 2.5 landed in seven of their last eight away games.

Total Goals Prediction
Seattle Sounders have now played 10 consecutive matches with a total of under 4.5 goals. The combined average scoring figures for both teams also fall within that range: Seattle Sounders average 1.6 scored and 1.8 conceded at home, while New York Red Bulls average 1.4 scored and 2 conceded away. This supports the view that a high-scoring match is unlikely, making the Total Goals - Under 4.5 bet at odds of 1.34* a reasonable one.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
In 10 of their last 11 away matches, New York Red Bulls both scored and conceded, which supports a strong likelihood of goals at both ends. Seattle Sounders have averaged 1.8 goals conceded per home match over their last 10, while New York Red Bulls have averaged 2 goals conceded per away match over their last 10, pointing to defensive vulnerability on both sides. The visitors' consistent attacking output - averaging 1.33 goals per away match over their last 10 games - further supports this scenario. On that basis, Both Teams to Score - Yes at odds of 1.42* looks a reasonable bet.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Recent data clearly points to limited attacking output from New York Red Bulls: the team have scored under 1.5 goals in six of their last seven MLS matches, and that is backed up by an average of just 1.3 goals per game over their last ten matches. Although away fixtures have often been productive for the club, the underlying problem of scoring their own goals persists even against vulnerable defences. Seattle Sounders' backline does not look particularly solid, but the visitors' recent form gives no reason to expect a breakthrough. The prediction is New York Red Bulls Team Total - Under 1.5.
