Seattle Sounders FC vs Colorado Rapids

Seattle SoundersColorado RapidsBoth Seattle Sounders and Colorado Rapids have good seasons in MLS and are surprise packages of the season. They were hard to beat in recent few weeks, but on the other hand didn't enjoy too many wins at the same time. Seattle managed to win only against struggling San Jose in last 6 league games, while Colorado were slightly better and managed two wins in same period.

Last weekend Seattle failed to win against out of order New York Red Bulls, while Colorado managed to beat D.C. United at home. Colorado played in midweek too, and were held to another draw by Dallas.

 

Team news

Seattle will be without keeper Chris Eylander and defenders Zach Scott and Taylor Graham, while Jarrod Smith, Sebastien Le Toux and Freddie Ljungberg are all doubtful.

Colorado travel to Seattle without Conor Casey who is on international duty and could be without Terry Cooke, who is struggling with knee injury.

Betting verdict

Both sides are unbeaten for a while, and had huge number of ties this season, so draw could be on the cards here. However, Seattle are obviously in downtrend and with only one win in last 9 league games and with some injury problems I think they could struggle in this match. This match is much closer than it looks like, and at this price (@3.70 Sportingbet) Colorado are worth a shot.
