Match Preview
As the Seattle Sounders prepare to host Columbus Crew at Lumen Field on Sunday, both teams are looking to gain momentum in their respective campaigns. The Sounders have shown resilience with a mixed bag of results in their last five matches, managing two draws and a win, while the Crew have struggled to find consistency, recording just one win in their last five outings. Historically, this fixture has been competitive, with Seattle holding a slight edge in their last ten encounters, winning four and drawing three.
One notable angle for this match is the likelihood of goals, as both teams have been involved in high-scoring affairs recently. Six of the last ten meetings have seen over 2.5 goals, and with both sides capable of finding the net—evidenced by five matches in their last ten head-to-heads featuring both teams scoring—betting on over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.57 could be a prudent choice. With home advantage, the Sounders will aim to exploit Columbus's defensive vulnerabilities, making this clash one to watch for attacking play.
