Seattle Sounders vs St. Louis City

Lumen Field is the venue as Seattle Sounders and St. Louis City go head-to-head in an exciting Major League Soccer game.

There’s been no stopping of Seattle lately, with the Sounders stitching together a five-match winning streak in domestic football, bookended by a hard-earned 1-0 win at Austin last time out. Equally impressive at their iconic Lumen Field, the hosts have won four consecutive home league matches since a 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake in late May, scoring 2+ goals on each occasion. Manager Brian Schmetzer expects another routine triumph after his men won all three previous MLS meetings with St. Louis City by a combined score of 7-1. Despite their emphatic scoring record in this match-up, the Rave Green couldn’t find the net before halftime in two of those three H2Hs, suggesting the bunch of action should come in the second half.

Meanwhile, St. Louis City can’t catch a break, with back-to-back 4-1 defeats to Vancouver Whitecaps and Colorado Rapids derailing their chances of securing a playoff berth. Stranded eight points adrift of 9th-placed Minnesota United in the Western Conference table, the visitors desperately need a win. Yet, they’d probably settle for a point against a more heavily fancied Seattle. No strangers to sharing the spoils, John Hackworth’s men have drawn a league-high ten MLS fixtures this season, accounting for 43.48% of their league matches. On the downside, they’ve failed to take three points on all ten top-flight travels in 2024 (D5, L5), conceding an average of 2.7 goals per game.
