Key Stats
Colorado Rapids vs Seattle Sounders Predictions
Seattle are probably the best team in MLS at the moment, and despite playing away for this game against a tough opponent like Colorado, we think they will take all three points. Seattle’s good run of form is due in part to the team’s defensive form.
If Seattle manages to take an early lead, we believe they may choose to play defensively for the rest of the match as they have the best defence in the league.
