Minnesota United vs Seattle Sounders Prediction and Betting tips | 2nd April 2022

Minnesota United welcome the Seattle Sounders to Allianz Field in MLS Western Conference action on Saturday.

The hosts have enjoyed a good start to their 2022 campaign and are winless after four games. They are in third place in the Western Conference standings, despite just four goals to their name.

The Sounders have endured a slow start to their campaign and are in 11th place with just four points to their name. They have made it to the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League, so that is one thing they can look forward to at the moment.

The hosts secured a 1-0 win over San Jose in their previous outing, which was their second win with that scoreline in a row. The Seattle Sounders were held to a 1-1 draw by Austin FC in their MLS game before the international break.

Minnesota United vs Seattle Sounders Prediction

Minnesota United's two wins this season have both come in their last two games, so they will be looking to make it three wins in a row. The Seattle Sounders have a Champions League game against New York City FC on Wednesday, which might take precedence over this game in terms of focus.

The Loons have scored exactly one goal in each of their four games thus far and have been defensively solid to make it count. The visitors, on the other hand, failed to score in their first two league games and have a negative goal difference at the moment.

Though the visiting side hold an edge in this fixture, given their current form, they might struggle here. Nonetheless, they should pack enough of a punch to earn a point from their trip to Minnesota.

Prediction: Minnesota United 1-1 Seattle Sounders
