Seattle Sounders vs Minnesota United Predictions

Seattle Sounders won 1-0 away at SJ Earthquakes on Monday and moved level on points with this weekends’ opponents Minnesota United, who could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to the Western Conference leaders LAFC.

All of the stats suggest that the hosts Seattle Sounders are best placed to claim all three points in Sunday’s final game of the season and we’ve backed a tight and tense final scoreline of 2-1.

Seattle Sounders have never lost against Minnesota United before winning four of the pairs’ six previous encounters. Both teams scored in five of the six previous meetings between the two clubs, and that stats provides the basis for our correct score prediction of 2-1 and you can see why we fancy the hosts to win given their excellent record against Minnesota United.

The form of the two sides also adds weight to our prediction for a home win this weekend, as Seattle Sounders have won four of their last six matches and are unbeaten in their last four home games, while Minnesota United have failed to win either of their last two away games, drawing at Portland Timbers and losing to Houston Dynamo.

The performances of both clubs during the last month or so adds more reasoning to our prediction for a 2-1 final scoreline, as both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Seattle Sounders’ last seven MLS games and three of Minnesota United’s last six games in all competitions.

We’re confident that Seattle Sounders will claim all three points on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Seattle Sounders have never suffered defeat against Minnesota United, winning four and drawing two of their previous six encounters. Both teams have played to a very similar level this season, picking up 53 points apiece, so we’re expecting a very close and competitive ninety minutes between the pair on Sunday.
