St. Louis vs Seattle Sounders Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd October 2023
St. Louis will entertain Seattle Sounders at CITYPARK in Major League Soccer action on Sunday.
St. Louis vs Seattle Sounders Preview
This game is a top-of-the-table clash but with nothing tangible at stake, as both teams have bagged their qualifications for round one of the playoffs. St. Louis sit atop the Western Conference standings with 56 points while Seattle Sounders are in third place with 50 points. They can no longer catch up with the hosts.
St. Louis lost their previous game to Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0 on the road, which brought to an end their five-game undefeated streak. Wrapping up their campaign with a home win is their aim, but the visitors are also a force to be reckoned with. Seattle Sounders have won the only clash between the sides so far (3-0).
The visitors entered the 2023 MLS campaign on the back of their success in the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League. They were expected to replicate that form in the domestic league but did not meet expectations. They sit in ninth place ahead of the final matchday but have been enjoying a purple patch.
The Sounders were held to a goalless draw at home by Vancouver Whitecaps in their previous meeting but maintain an eight-game undefeated streak. They are also undefeated in their last five trips, winning twice. Seattle Sounders will also be eying a successful conclusion of their campaign by upsetting the hosts at CITYPARK.
