Prediction: 1-1
Nashville
Seattle Sounders play host to Nashville at their Lumen Field in the opening match of the 2022 MLS season. The Sounders made it to the MLS Cup last 16 last season, but Real Salt Lake eventually proved to be a big catch for them. Experienced tactician Brian Schmetzer is still in charge of the team, who have big ambitions for the new MLS campaign. Peru international Raul Ruidiaz, who scored 17 goals last season, will be the man to watch in the home team.
Nashville, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Philadelphia Union in their last warm-up game. The visitors are eager to kick-off the new season in style, but beating Seattle on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the cards at Lumen Field, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Defender Walker Zimmerman is sidelined with injury for the visiting side.
