Editorial Prediction
Both teams are nearly on par in terms of current form and standings, setting the stage for an intense match with plenty of action at both ends of the pitch. However, there are questions about finishing, especially for the visitors. They rarely score more than one goal away from home this season, and their head-to-head record isn't impressive either, which the trend for this match reflects. The odds aren't huge, but they look solid enough. Our bet is on Seattle Sounders' individual total under 1.5 goals.
