Seattle Sounders vs Colorado Rapids: Predictions, tips & betting odds

Seattle Sounders will look to end their poor run of form and move back into the playoff spots when they host Colorado in the early hours of Sunday morning in MLS' Western Conference.

The Sounders have lost four of their last five matches, a run which has seen them slip to ninth in the table.

The Rapids meanwhile ended their six-match win-less streak last time out with a victory against LA Galaxy and another win at Lumen Field would see them move level on points with the Sounders.

The Rapids for their part are yet to win on the road this term, claiming just three points from a possible 27 away from Colorado.

The visitors are offered at 3/1 (4.00) with the draw at 14/5 (3.80).

Seattle Sounders vs Colorado Rapids preview

This is a meeting of two of the lowest scoring teams in the division with the Sounders netting 26 goals and the Rapids just 24.

The hosts have failed to score in eight of their 20 league games this term including in each of their last three games, and the injury problems suffered by Peruvian international Raul Ruidiaz have hurt the team.

The Rapids, meanwhile, may not be a prolific side but they have been consistent, scoring in nine of their last 10 league games, failing to find the back of the net only four times.

There could therefore be some interest in backing the visitors to get themselves on the score-sheet.

Seattle Sounders vs Colorado Rapids tips and predictions

The Rapids are offered at 6/4 (2.50) to score exactly one goal with this bet paying out in five of their last eight away games.

The Sounders have also conceded exactly one goal in five of their last 10 league games, making this an attractive selection.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
