Toronto FC vs Seattle Sounders tips and predictions

Excitement expected in MLS

There are 5 points separating the two MLS clubs as 12th place Toronto FC get set to host seventh place Seattle Sounders.

The jury is still out on this one but it should be a good game. The away team has the edge if you're interested in the value.

With one or two less than dominant outings, the hosts might be wanting better returns here. In defence Toronto FC's performances have shown some signs of confusion. They conceded at least once in 19 of their last 20 matches which is a stat that will resonate with backers of the visiting side.

If this away squad puts some decent passages together they should be the side celebrating at the final whistle. Seattle Sounders have won 5 of their last 8 outings. Their best performances have been underpinned by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored three or more goals in 6 of their last 16 games which is a statistic they will want to add to here.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the quickest out of the blocks. Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive this time around. And in the total goals line, it's Under 3.5 goals standing out in this one given the current odds.

The head-to-head shows that Seattle Sounders have won all of the last 3 matches between the sides.
