Austin vs Seattle Sounders Prediction & Preview

Preview

The United States Major League Soccer is set to witness a thrilling encounter on Sunday, 14th July, as Austin welcomes Seattle Sounders to the Al Saqr Stadium. The match kicks off at 00:30, with both teams looking to gain a crucial advantage in the league standings.

Austin, currently sitting 9th in the table with 30 points, will be buoyed by their recent form, which has seen them win two and draw one of their last five matches. In their previous outing, they secured an impressive 2-1 victory over New York City at home, courtesy of a strong performance.

On the other hand, Seattle Sounders are flying high, occupying the 7th spot with 31 points. They have been in scintillating form, winning four and drawing one of their last five matches. Their most recent fixture saw them edge past Sacramento Republic 2-1 away from home.

When these two teams met earlier this year on March 3rd at Lumen Field, the match ended in a goalless draw. However, Austin will be looking to build upon their solitary win in their last five head-to-head encounters against Seattle Sounders.

Austin's home form has been impressive, with an average of 1.5 goals scored per game, while conceding only one goal per game. Meanwhile, Seattle Sounders have averaged two goals per game on the road, shipping 1.5 goals per match.

Bet

Considering the recent form and goal-scoring statistics, I would recommend a bet on Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.92. With Austin averaging 0.8 goals per game and Seattle Sounders scoring an impressive 2.2 goals per game, there is every possibility that this match will see more than two goals.

Seattle's away form has been particularly impressive, with them scoring in each of their last five matches on the road. Austin, too, have been solid at home, making it a potentially high-scoring affair. With both teams capable of finding the back of the net, Over 2.5 goals seems like an attractive option.
