Seattle Sounders vs Real Salt Lake tips and predictions

Seattle Sounders not guaranteed to outclass Real Salt Lake

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Seattle Sounders makes them a horrible bet. Real Salt Lake don't look likely to get the job done but they can cause some problems.

This fixture has been complex to analyse with confidence but given the hosts' recent defensive record on their own soil, the draw is the recommendation. Looking secure at home Seattle Sounders have conceded at an average of just 0.7 goals per game over their last 12 matches.

The sportsbooks are expecting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for The Sounders. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive this time around.

Seattle Sounders have drawn 10 of their last 19 matches on their own soil. Also Real Salt Lake have drawn 6 of their last 14 away matches. They shared the spoils with FC Dallas last Sunday. It's not the most exciting thing you'll read today and it feels like a match to be nervous about but the draw warrants consideration. Stalemate is the pick after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
