Betting on the Seattle Sounders
The Seattle Sounders are coming off a 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls after back-to-back losses to Vancouver Whitecaps and Austin FC respectively. In their last five games, they register two wins and three losses, showing that they have slowed down a little from the devastating pace that took them to the top of the table.
To make matters worse, Kelyn Rowe, Ethan Dobbelaere and Cristian Roldan are the injured players for the home team, while Joao Paulo is suspended.
Playing at Lumen Field, they have a record of five wins, one draw and two losses, with 13 goals for and four against. This is considered one of the most complicated stadiums for all visitors due to the great atmosphere that the host fans create in every match.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Stefan Frei; Alexander Roldan, Yeimar Gómez Andrade, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo; Josh Atencio, Albert Rusnák; Leo Chú, Nicolás Lodeiro, Jordan Morris; Freddy Montero.
Betting on the San Jose Earthquakes
San Jose Earthquakes’ current situation is not positive as they enter this difficult match against Seattle Sounders in the middle of a three-game winless streak. What’s more, in their last five matches, they have just one win (2-1 against LAFC).
Nathan and Carlos Akapo are the injured first-team players, while Judson is suspended and will not see action this coming matchday.
Playing on the road, they have yet to win three points and have only managed two draws, with five defeats to their name. These numbers show that it is very unlikely that they will be able to get anything out of this match against a team as strong at home as their opponents.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): James Marcinkowski; Miguel Trauco, Jonathan Mensah, Rodrigues, Paul Marie; Jackson Yueill, Carlos Gruezo, Jamiro Monteiro; Cristian Espinoza, Jeremy Ebobisse, Cade Cowell.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time these two sides met, the match ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw on October 9, 2022. At JefeBet we consider that we will once again have a game in which both teams will get on the scoresheet on many occasions. Therefore, we are betting on the Over (odds of -145 at DraftKings), to which if you bet 100 dollars you could take home $69 profit.
Prediction: Over (SEA 3-1 SJE)
