Seattle Sounders and Sporting Kansas City will face each other this Saturday, June 25 for the Matchday 16 of the MLS at Lumen Field trying to continue straightening their paths.
After a shaky start to the championship, the Seattle team seems to have found its formula. With 13 points out of their last 18 played, the Sounders are already in seventh place in the Western Conference, the last place to qualify for the playoffs, and with one game less. In their last match, they tied the leader, Los Angeles FC, 1-1 with a goal from Albert Rusnák.
For its part, Kansas City managed to get out of last place in the same conference last weekend after beating Nashville SC 1-2 as a visitor with goals from Felipe Hernández and Graham Suzi and hopes to continue climbing positions.

Why Bet on Seattle Sounders
Seattle Sounders are the locals, they have 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 6 games and they come from tying the tournament leader, Los Angeles FC (1-1).
One of the hard casualties that the team would have is Raúl Ruidíaz, who a couple of weeks ago suffered a torn right hamstring against the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Peruvian striker, the team’s top scorer with 5 goals in 8 league games, could not be in Los Angeles for the last matchday and is not expected to be against Kansas City either.
The Sounders are currently seventh with 20 points in the Western Conference. Nashville, sixth, has 23 points, while the Whitecaps are eighth with the same points but a very poor goal difference and more games.
Why Bet on Sporting Kansas City
The visit comes in high spirits after their first away win in the tournament (1-2 against Nashville) and after coming out of last place in the conference, an “honor” that now belongs to the San Jose Earthquakes.
Sporting is in 12th place and has 16 points, however, they have more games than everyone, so they are a long way from the qualifying spots also if Portland Timbers and San Jose win the ones they lack, they’ll overtake them in the standings table. That is why those led by Peter Joseph Vermes (one of the coaches with the longest tenure in the world, something rare in these times, since he has held this position since 2009) can’t fail.
Kansas City has recorded 4 wins, the same number of draws, and 9 losses in 17 games, scoring 16 goals and conceding 29.
Final Betting Analysis: Seattle Sounders vs. Sporting Kansas City
It’s one of the first games of Matchday 16 and it will be a fight for one of the Western Conference playoff spots, and we think the winner will be the Seattle Sounders.
The favorite is the local, as we see on WilliamHill.com, which puts a Moneyline of -130 against the +350 of his rival, and we also think that way.
Incredibly, the last 4 games between the two have always been for the visitors, but this streak will possibly be broken this time. Also in the last 7 games, both teams have scored and there have always been more than 2.5 goals.
Go for a straight Seattle Sounders win in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on a win at -130, you will gain $77 for a total payout of $177.
