Seattle Sounders vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction & Betting Tips (16 September)

This game has huge implications at both ends of the table, with Seattle Sounders battling to stay up and Sporting Kansas City attempting to book a place in the playoffs. Although the two teams have very different ambitions, they each seem to love a draw, with the Seattle Sounders managing six in 13 fourth-tier home games and the Sporting Kansas City securing a good place in the MLS.

A minimum of two goals have been served up in 18 of the previous 21 Seattle Sounders home matches in this tier of the MLS, so achieving consistency on this particular front has not proven too challenging for Seattle Sounders. Not only that, but ten of the last 13 Sporting Kansas City away games in the MLS have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety.

When Sporting Kansas City come calling in the MLS, excitement usually follows, with the team both scoring and conceding during the same 91 minutes in 16 of their previous 21 away games. Given that 13 of the most recent 16 Seattle Sounders home matches at this level have followed the same pattern, something similar is expected when the teams go head-to-head.
