Seattle Sounders vs Colorado Rapids: Top Free Betting Tips

The Seattle Sounders and Colorado Rapids are ready to start their 2023 MLS campaign with a unique draw at Lumen Field. Both teams have had missed opportunities in the past, but now they have added motivation to make this new run more pleasant as they contend for the victory.

Match Result Prediction: Seattle Sounders to Win

With the added motivation to improve on their 2022 run, both sides will be fighting for honours. Home advantage will play to Seattle's advantage and they will surely benefit from it. The last six duels at Lumen Field have concluded in favour of the hosts and coming into this fixture, they have the better competitive preparation despite not accumulating optimal results. On the road, Colorado are winless in six competitive outings and looks unlikely to improve their fortunes.  

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Both teams missed last season's playoffs in the Western Conference, so they will be trying to reverse that image from the get-go. Having met ten times, Rave Green has won five times. There was also the last match between the two at Lumen Field, and the home team won. Jordan Morris and Nicolás Lodeiro scored the final score, which was 2-1. Five of the six battles in Seattle's home have finished with Over 2.5 Goals and a similar result is expected in this meeting. 

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Seattle Sounders

Preseason outings do not paint a complete picture of both team's form. However, both sides have shown their ability to put the ball into the back of the net in their respective outings. Al Ahly showed Seattle can be shutout but Colorado take the pitch after a 4-1 defeat to Philadelphia Union and would not be able to tame their rivals. Seattle themselves conceded against USL outfit Louisville City and would be picking the ball from their net. With our prediction in favour of Seattle, we are backing a 2-1 conclusion to this fixture.

Seattle Sounders vs Colorado Rapids: Form, Recent Games, and News

Seattle Sounders Preview

Seattle Sounders made history by winning the CONCACAF Champions League. It saw them break Mexican club's 17-year dominance. However, at the same time, Brian Schmetzer's team failed to qualify for the MLS playoffs for the first time in their history. Against Colorado, they will want a better return to form following their disappointing results in the FIFA Club World Cup, where they were eliminated Al-Ahly.

Colorado Rapids Preview

Colorado finished the 2022 MLS campaign on a high, registering three wins and a draw in their last five outings. However, prior to that, their away trips saw them struggle and it will haunt the side. They failed to make the playoffs and against a strong Seattle squad, will be put under pressure. The 4-1 defeat to Philadelphia Union casts a dark shadow on them and they will have to prove otherwise to get a positive result in this meeting.
