- Venue: Lumen Field
Seattle Sounders play their second game since their elimination at the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday when they welcome Columbas Crew to Lumen Field.
The hosts went into the Club World Cup with low confidence levels after consecutive league defeats. Brian Schmetzer’s men simply extended that losing streak to five by losing all three group stage matches. However, the Sounders bounced back with a 2-0 win over Austin at this same ground last weekend. They dominated the game, registering six shots on goal, but the dismissal of Reed Baker towards the end could be a major setback ahead of Sunday’s game.
Meanwhile, Columbus Crew have been in great form since 15 June. Indeed, the Black & Gold prepare for Sunday’s game with a run of three consecutive wins. Their most recent match saw Wilfried Nancy’s team keep a clean sheet for the first time since March, and they will be looking to build on that this weekend.
Seattle Sounders FC vs Columbus Crew Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The Sounders' defence has been inconsistent since June. Schmetzer’s men have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six games, conceding at least two goals in three of them and two of the three MLS games played during this period produced at least three goals.
The Columbus Crew's recent games in USA's top flight were also entertaining. Four of their last six games produced four or more goals, so I think we could see a similar number at Lumen Field this weekend.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Seattle Sounders FC vs Columbus Crew prediction: 3-1

Columbus Crew team news
Columbus Crew head coach Wilfried Nancy remains without the services of Rudy Camacho, who has missed the last 22 games due to a hamstring injury.
Sunday’s trip to Lumen Field also comes too soon for Patrick Schulte and Nicholas Hagen, who are dealing with muscle and contracture problems respectively.
