4th placed Seattle Sounders will play host to 7th placed Colorado Rapids at their Lumen Field on Wednesday night (US time) with the home side looking to further extend their recent promising results in the MLS which has seen Brian Schmetzer’s side pick up two wins and a draw.
Despite being outclassed in the group stage of the recent FIFA Club World Cup where they suffered defeats in each of their three group games having lost to Botafogo, Atletico Madrid and PSG respectively, The Sounders have bounced back on the domestic stage with victories gained over Austin and Kansas City.
Seattle Sounders have also suffered just one defeat on home turf so far in this season’s MLS amidst an overall solid looking home record which stands at 6-3-1 21/9 at Lumen Field.
Colorado Rapids occupy 7th place in the Western Conference table and they find themselves placed in the last of the Finals Series play-off places ahead of this tough looking trip to face Seattle Sounders on Wednesday night.
League wins have been hard to come by for Colorado Rapids in recent weeks as the visitors have managed to capture just two wins in their last eight games overall in the MLS which came in the form of victories over LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps.
However, five defeats within this eight-game period have seen Colorado slip to defeats at the hands of Portland Timbers, Austin, Orlando City, Kansas City and Los Angeles respectively, so this upcoming trip to Lumen Field looks a tough one for Chris Armas’s side.
The Betting Verdict
Seattle Sounders are unbeaten in the last six meetings against Colorado Rapids and having picked up four wins, the hosts look set for more success here.
The Pick :
Seattle Sounders 2-1 Colorado Rapids
BEST BETTING TIP :
Take Seattle Sounders win at odds of 1.50 with Bet365
