Seattle Sounders vs Toronto FC Predictions

Seattle Sounders defied the odds to claim a 3-1 victory at LAFC to reach the MLS Cup Final this season and many feel their name is already written on the trophy. Toronto arrive on the back of two impressive away wins against the much-fancied New York City and Atlanta United, and will be confident they can upset the odds one more time.

All the stats heading into the MLS Cup Final suggest we are likely to see goals at both ends of the pitch and we have backed Seattle Sounders to claim the trophy with a 3-1 win.

Seattle Sounders have the home advantage on Sunday, have only lost twice at home against Toronto before, and have won four of the pair’s last seven encounters. Both teams scored in four of the duo’s last six meetings and both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in the pair’s last two encounters, both of which Seattle Sounders won. So you can start to see why we have backed the hosts to win the final 3-1 this weekend.

The form of the two clubs heading into the final only adds weight to our prediction for a home win, as Seattle Sounders have won five of their last six matches and are unbeaten at home in their last seven matches. Toronto have only won two of their last six away games.

Elsewhere, the performances of both teams during the last month or so provide even more reason to back goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend; both teams scored in two of Seattle Sounders’ three and each of Toronto’s three playoff ties. Seattle Sounders finished as runners-up in the Western Conference thanks to a strong finish to the campaign and ended with six more points on the board than Toronto.

We’re confident both teams will score in Sunday’s final and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of Seattle Sounders. The hosts have a very good record against their guests and head into the match as the form favourites, but Toronto won’t go down without a fight and have only failed to score in one of their last seven matches. However, the hosts have not lost at home in any of their last seven matches and have the crucial home advantage in Sunday’s final. We believe this will give them the edge over the Canadians.
