Antigua vs Seattle Sounders Prediction and Betting Tips | February 19th 2025

Seattle Sounders begin their journey in the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup when they visit the Estadio Pensativo to face Antigua on Wednesday. Mauricio Tapia’s men head into the midweek clash off the back of an emphatic league victory and will be looking to secure a first-leg advantage.

Antigua picked up a morale-boosting result ahead of their Champions Cup opener as they hammered Xinabajul Huehue 6-0 in the Guatemalan top flight last Tuesday.

Tapia’s side have picked up five wins and one draw from their opening eight league games to collect 16 points and sit second in the table, one point behind first-placed Municipal.

Antigua head into Wednesday’s clash unbeaten in 10 of their 11 games on home turf and will fancy themselves to cause an upset against a more experienced Seattle Sounders side.

The MLS outfit endured a somewhat disappointing end to their pre-season campaign as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Swedish side Hammarby after throwing away their two-goal lead in the second half.

However, with that result, Brian Schmetzer’s men finished unbeaten in their four warm-up games, picking up two wins and two draws while scoring 12 goals and conceding eight.

Seattle Sounders now get going in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, having secured a seventh-placed finish in the 2024 MLS Supporters' Shield standings with 57 points from 34 games.
