DC United vs Seattle Sounders Predictions

DC United earned all three points via a 1-0 win during their trip to Portland Timbers last weekend, while Seattle Sounders could only draw at home 0-0 with Dallas on Thursday.

All of the stats suggest that we won’t see both teams score on Monday and we’ve backed DC United to claim all three points courtesy of a 2-0 final score.

Seattle Sounders have had the beating of DC United over the years but both teams have scored in just three of the last nine meetings and under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the pairs’ last seven encounters, which is one reason why we have backed a 2-0 final scoreline on Monday.

The performances of both clubs in recent weeks suggest that we won’t see both teams score and that there are likely to be under 2.5 goals scored in Monday’s match, as DC United have kept clean sheets in their last two MLS games and Seattle Sounders have failed to score in two of their last three matches in the MLS, while under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of DC United’s last six and two of Seattle Sounders’ last three matches.

The form of the hosts at home and the visitors on the road in recent weeks also suggests that DC United can win on Monday, as the hosts have won their last two matches and Seattle Sounders have only won two of their last five away games. We’re expecting a close and competitive match between these two clubs but its the recent performances of both teams that lead us to believe that DC United will claim a narrow victory.

We’re confident that we won’t see both teams score on Monday and that the final scoreline will end 2-0 in favour of the hosts. Seattle Sounders usually enjoy playing against DC United but have failed to score in two of their last three matches and don’t possess the best of away records this season, while DC united appear to have turned their poor form around with back to back away wins and look more like their early-season selves again.
