Sounders vs. Earthquakes Odds
Game Preview
Brian Schmetzer was always an offensive guru, but this year, the veteran coach formed one of the best defenses in the past few years. After 10 MLS fixtures, this unit allowed just 6 goals.
The last time Seattle won at home in North American competitions was way back in June 2025. This season, they played 4 matches at Lumen Field, winning three and posting a tie, with a 9-3 goal difference.
The Quakes are excellent right now, having played 12 matches, winning 9, and having two ties and a loss. They have scored 27 goals and conceded 8, which is why this unit tops the West with 29 points.
Preston Judd plays superb football, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists. This guy is on fire these days, and many would say the Quakes are 30% weaker without him. We couldn’t agree more about this.
Sounders vs. Earthquakes Head to Head
The previous encounter between the two sides was in mid-MArch this season, when Sounders won on the road, 0-1. By the way, Seattle didn’t lose its last 5 MLS games against this rival, winning three and tying two.
Sounders vs. Earthquakes Predictions
This will be the most interesting game of the round. Two different philosophies collide, and in that battle, we won’t pick the final outcome, yet bet on low efficiency.
