Form Guide & Team Overview
Seattle Sounders
Seattle Sounders have been in impressive form, particularly on their travels, with three wins and a draw in their last four matches. Their recent 1-0 victory over Houston Dynamo showcased their ability to edge out tight games, a trait that has become a hallmark of their current run. The defence has been rock-solid, conceding just one goal in their last four outings, which will undoubtedly boost their confidence heading into this fixture.
Their ability to keep clean sheets has been pivotal, and the narrow win against St. Louis City earlier in the season will give them added belief. The Sounders seem to have found a winning formula, and they’ll be keen to continue this momentum, especially with the home crowd behind them.

St. Louis City
St. Louis City have had a mixed bag of results recently, with two draws and a win in their last five matches. Their 1-1 draws against Dallas and New York City show they can hold their own, but the lack of victories on the road is a concern. The 3-1 win against New England at home was a bright spot, highlighting their potential when everything clicks.
However, their recent loss to Seattle Sounders will be fresh in their minds, and they’ll need to address their defensive frailties to avoid a repeat. The team will be looking to turn those draws into wins, but they’ll need to be more clinical in front of goal to do so.
