Our prediction for this MLS match:
Vancouver Whitecaps will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Portland Timbers and FC Dallas when they take on Seattle Sounders on Sunday morning. The Canadian outfit continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels and they are certainly capable of making life difficult for Seattle at their BC Place. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Sunday’s encounter, but Portugal defender Luis Martins should sneak into the starting XI.
The Sounders, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Austin. Considering that both sides will go for a victory in this match, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. The visitors will be without Kelyn Rowe, Cristian Roldan, Raul Ruidiaz, and Jacob Castro in the BC Place showdown.
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.
