Seattle Sounders vs Columbus Crew Predictions

• Seattle have won six of their nine home MLS games (D2, L1).
• Columbus have lost back-to-back road games.
• The Crew have scored in all eight of their MLS away games.

Sounders can make home advantage count

Seattle Sounders claimed a 2-0 win over Austin on their return to MLS action after a disappointing Club World Cup campaign and they can follow that up by beating Columbus Crew.

The visitors have won their last three games but all of those have been home assignments. This is the Crew’s first road game in over a month, and they are winless in four on their travels (D2, L2).

Seattle have been excellent at home all season with six wins and just one defeat in nine games. They showed no ill effects of three defeats in as many games at the CWC in their routine win over Austin, and can follow that up by taking down a Columbus side they beat 4-0 in a reverse fixture in September last season.

The Crew are yet to draw a blank on their travels and they can keep that run going by scoring in defeat at Lumen Field. The Sounders have scored 20 goals in nine home games and may still be able to win comfortably even if they do concede so a 3-1 home win has a chance.

Jesus Ferreira had a goal and an assist in the win over Austin and he can help fire Seattle to victory on Sunday. The 24-year-old looks to be hitting a bit of form with two goals in his last three MLS games and he stands out as a potential anytime scorer in a game that could see a few goals.
