Seattle Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction

• Competition: USA - MLS
• Date: Wednesday, 15th, June 2022
• Kick off at 03:30 UK/04.30 CET
• Venue: Lumen Field (Seattle)

Seattle does not remember a worse start to the season than this in recent seasons, as The Sounders managed to collect only 16 points from 12 games played, but the team has two games less than most teams. Namely, it seems that Seattle has found their true form in recent weeks, and the 2-1 victory over Charlotte last time was their third triumph in the previous four league games. On the other hand, Vancouver is also among the teams that have a weaker start to the MLS campaign, and The Whitecaps have taken 17 points from the previous 14 games, meaning they are a point away from the play-offs. In fact, coach Vanni Sartini has been pleased with his team's performance lately, as Vancouver has triumphed three times in the previous four league games, including a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake, last time.

Seattle Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps Betting Tips

Seattle has a great tradition against Vancouver, as The Sounders are undefeated in 14 previous consecutive meetings, including a convincing 4-1 triumph and a 1-1 draw from last season's two clashes. More importantly, Brian Schmetzer’s team should be very confident and encouraged ahead of this week’s clash, as they have triumphed 8 times in the previous 9 clashes against Vancouver on their Lumen Field. Seattle has turned their stadium into a real fortress lately, achieving three triumphs from the previous four home games, so they should rely on the huge support of their fans. Vancouver's away form looked terrible in the new campaign, and a minimal 1-0 triumph over Sporting Kansas City last time meant that The Village ended a losing streak of seven defeats in a row. Form, tradition, the advantage of the home turf, the bad away record of their opponents - all this is in Seattle's favor, so The Sounders should have enough quality in the last third to secure all three points.
