Seattle Sounders vs Colorado Rapids Match Prediction 20 July 2025

This match might be tougher than it looks on paper looking at the struggles of DC United and the hunger to get back to track. While Columbus Crew are well favoured, I still believe they have a lot to improve on defensively and with the past meetings of this fixture, it will not be an easy decision to back them. Still, considering the number of points the home side has accumulated this season and the way their attack has been, I feel they will do well to edge in this fixture especially if they do well to convert their chances. Meanwhile, going by the tradition of this fixture, I believe the visiting DC United will get on the scoresheet even as underdogs.
