Seattle Sounders vs Austin Prediction and Betting Tips | September 10, 2022
The Seattle Sounders will entertain Austin at Lumen Field in an exciting MLS Western Conference clash on Saturday.
The hosts returned to winning ways against Houston Dynamo in their last outing. Second-half goals from Nouhou Tolo and Fredy Montero helped them to a come-from-behind 2-1 win. It was their first win in a month, and their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread.
Meanwhile, nerves seem to have got the best of Austin in their last two games. They suffered a 3-0 loss against Nashville in their previous outing, but a win here will be enough for them to join Los Angeles FC as the second team in the Western Conference to reach the playoffs.
Weekend is stacked. Who's your pick? 💎
