The Rave Green ended their terrible run of five consecutive losses in all competitions; Seattle Sounders defeated Austin FC. Brian Schmetzer’s men had a disastrous FIFA Club World Cup run, bowing out without picking up a point. More recently, Seattle Sounders knew they had to halt the run of five games without a win, so they pressured their opponents from the start of the game till the end. They broke the deadlock with almost the last kick at the break courtesy of Jesus Ferreira, while Musovski doubled the lead in the 54th minute. 

The victory ended Seattle Sounders FC's five consecutive matches without a breakthrough. In terms of goals, Seattle Sounders FC have found the back of the net in three of their last four games.

The Crew recorded another deserved victory, this time on their home ground against Philadelphia. The game started with little or no action and came alive when Farsi scored the only goal just before the break. The second half was nothing to write home about as both teams accumulated three shots on goal in the entire game. Columbus Crew secured the maximum, and despite not playing their usual way, they got the job done regardless. 

The (1-0) win over Philadelphia was after their back-to-back wins against Atlanta and Vancouver Whitecaps. They have scored six times while conceding twice in their previous three matches. 

The Crew have now drawn seven (7) times this season, which is the highest in the entire MLS. Furthermore, they have managed to keep a clean sheet in fourteen consecutive games.

The Crew have drawn three, lost twice, and won three games on the road this campaign.

Seattle Sounders vs Columbus Crew match prediction 06 July 2025

Seattle Sounders picked up their first win after five consecutive defeats in all competitions. They’ll be keen to display the experience they got from the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup against their opponent later this week.

Columbus Crew have been up and running lately, picking up three consecutive victories for the second time this campaign, although their most recent performance was slightly below par.

Both teams have all it takes to secure the maximum points; however, Columbus Crew’s last two games on the road have been abysmal. They’ll face off against a side seeking back-to-back wins, and it won’t come easily for them.

Seattle Sounders will start strong, and considering their decent home record, they’ll likely amass all the points against a dangerous Columbus Crew. Having said that, the guests are also capable of pulling a surprise stunt, so I’ll focus on goals in this encounter. 

My prediction for this game is BTTS for a coefficient of 1.65 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My betting tip for this MLS game is Seattle Sounders to win or draw and BTTS, with a 2.15 coefficient on the Bet365 bookmaker.

My final tip for this game is for Columbus Crew FC to find the back of the net at the break for a coefficient of 2.28 on the Betway bookmaker.

Good luck!
