Columbus Crew Seattle Sounders betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Columbus Crew need to improve their performance on the pitch so they can get better results, so this round should come in with a different attitude. Seatlle Sounders want to stay within the qualifying zone for the playoffs, so playing away from their fans will be important to keep their attention. We expect a very contested game, but we believe the home team take a certain advantage by having the support of their fans. Our bet will be on the Columbus Crew win without the draw option.

Preview
Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders face at Mapfre Stadium, in a match for the 0ª round of the MLS. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 4 matches they won 2, tied 1 and lost 1. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 05‑05‑2018, and ended in a draw by (0‑0). Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

This Saturday, there will be a clash between Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders in another match to count for Major League Soccer. The Columbus team are going through a delicate situation in the competition, away from the playoffs qualification zone, only to fight not to be the last-placed in their conference. The Seattle team, on the other hand, are qualified and fight at the top of their conference table.

Analysis Columbus

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after having eliminated Real Salt Lake with a away loss by (1‑0) in the previous round. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 3 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Columbus Crew has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 11 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Columbus Crew are currently one of the worst teams in Major League Soccer. They won only one of their last 11 clashes. The team are fighting at the moment, just to not be among the last places of their conference. However, the manager bets on a turnaround and aims at the qualification for the playoffs. In football, nothing is impossible, but rather difficult. Meanwhile, the fans believe in their team and the coach should put in the field what he has of the best in the squad to try to secure the 3 points.
In their last home match the team were defeated by Orlando City, 2-0. In the previous clash, also at home, were defeated by Kansas City, 1-0. Milton Valenzuela, Federico Higuain, Josh Williams and David Accam will miss the team led by Gregg Berhalter.

Confirmed Lineup: Joe Bendik, Josh Williams, Harrison Afful, Waylon Francis, Gastón Sauro, Héctor Jimenez, David Guzmán, Artur, Luis Argudo, Pedro Santos, Jerome Williams.
Coach: C. Porter.

Analysis Sounders

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (3‑0) against New York City. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Seattle Sounders has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 losses in the last away matches and they haven't won any of the last 8 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

This will be a great showdown for the Seattle team to get 3 points and continue to climb the Major League Soccer table. They will face a far inferior opponent technically. However, care must be taken not to lose points for teams from the bottom of the table. The Seattle team dream big in the competition, aim the first place and are close. They are aware of the difficulties but know that they should also win away from home and will go in search of that.
The Seattle team have been oscillating very much in the competition, otherwise they would probably be in the lead of their conference. Coach Brian Schmetzer is expected to correct the mistakes in which he missed the victories. He will put in the field the best players in his squad to beat the opposing team. Brian will also try to make the team stop swinging in the competition. Will Bruin and Victor Rodriguez should be the team's absences for this confrontation.

Confirmed Lineup: Stefan Frei, Bradley Smith, Xavier Arreaga, Kelvin Leerdam, Róman Torres, Nicolás Lodeiro, Gustav Svensson, Alexander Roldan, Danny Leyva, Víctor Rodríguez, Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez.
Coach: B. Schmetzer.
