Prediction: 2-1
San Jose Earthquakes
Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps meet at Lumen Field in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday's program. Seattle are looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats to Inter Miami and Austin, and motivation is high with a playoff spot on the line. A victory here would seal their place in the postseason, something their fans expect from such an experienced squad. Arriola, Hawkins, and Kent remain out of contention, but Seattle still possess plenty of quality going forward. Vancouver, meanwhile, have already booked their spot in the playoffs, meaning that they head into the match with the lack of motivation.
However, missing players like Blackmon, Gauld, Muller, Adekugbe, and Pupe will certainly affect their strength, especially in midfield creativity. Matches between these two clubs are usually intense, but this time the extra motivation lies with Seattle. The Sounders have been solid at home this season and should take full advantage of Vancouver’s absentees. Taking everything into account, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side.
Highlighted Team (Seattle Sounders):
Seattle Sounders are an American soccer club that compete in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. The Sounders are owned by the likes of Joe Roth, Paul Allen, Drew Carey and Adrian Hanauer and they play their home games at CenturyLink Field.
The club won the 2016 MLS Cup, with the team beating Toronto FC on penalties in the trophy game at BMO Field. Swiss goalkeeper Stefan Frei won the MVP honor after pulling off several brilliant saves in the 2016 MLS Cup final.
Winning of the MLS Cup is undisputedly the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that the Sounders clinched the Supporters’ Shield trophy in 2014. Seattle hold rivalry with Portland Timbers, but Vancouver Whitecaps are regarded as the club’s bitter rivals as well.
Experienced attacker Clint Dempsey is undisputedly the club’s most significant star and he has been playing for the CenturyLink Field outfit since 2014. He scored eight goals in the league in the 2016 season and, no doubt, he helped the Sounders win their first ever MLS Cup.
