Why Bet on the Seattle Sounders?
The history of MLS has always had Seattle Sounders as a competitive and title-contending team. However, this 2024 has had a difficult start for this franchise.
Despite starting off winning with a goal from Jordan Morris, they ended up losing 2-1 in their visit to Sporting Kansas City, which featured goals from Johnny Russell and Alenis Vargas.
This result leaves Seattle in tenth place in the Western Conference with 18 points from four wins, six draws, and seven defeats. They have conceded more goals (21) than they have scored (20).
But within this negative outlook, the Sounders have been improving considering everything they play. They have lost only two of their last 10 games, winning four and drawing the other four. There is a glimmer of hope that they can improve things and qualify for the Playoffs.
But at home, the level is not so good, as they have four games without a win, drawing in the last three. It has six matches in a row conceding goals.
The Sounders have injured Jonathan Bell, Stuart Hawkins, Nathan and Nouhou.
Why Bet on Minnesota United?
Minnesota United has taken a step forward this season and is showing itself as a candidate to fight for the top of the Western Conference, and therefore, as a contender for MLS champion.
They played their last match at home and drew 1-1 with FC Dallas. After 9 minutes Hassani Dotson opened the scoring, but 6 minutes later, the Texans equalized with a Liam Fraser conversion.
Minnesota couldn’t at home, but is third in the conference with 29 points, four behind leaders Real Salt Lake, which has one more game played.
The winds are generally positive for this franchise, which has lost only two of its last 10 matches, winning five. It has five consecutive games of scoring.
It is an interesting visitor, even though it has not won in its last two away games. They have 13 points in seven away matches.
Their most prolific scorer is the Canadian, with Nigerian roots, Tani Oluwaseyi, with seven goals.
The team’s absentees are Hugo Bacharach and DJ Taylor.
