Like a band of emerald warriors, the Seattle Sounders rush onto Lumen Field in their shining green kits, ready to defend their castle from the threat of the rising San Diego side! Sitting 5th in the Western Conference after claiming six wins, five draws, and four losses, the Sounders are riding in a wave of form (WWLDW) with an unbeaten home run (WDWWW). The 1-0 victory in Dallas was tough: 62% possession, 4 corners, 1 yellow card, 1 goal, and 4 shots on target, with Raúl Ruidíaz sealing the win late (Sounder at Heart).
For the season, they average 1.5 goals scored per game, 5.9 corners per game, 1.3 goals conceded per game, and 1.9 yellow cards per game. Rusnák sees everything, and Morris dissects defenses with pace, when fit, and are 6/8 when scoring first, giving them an advantage.
According to Coach Brian Schmetzer, an icon of the club, the club has maintained a "relentless spirit" (MLSsoccer.com) despite meaningful tests to their depth with Morris and Ragen sidelined. With a strong home record, they will look to steamroll San Diego-can The Emerald City roar once again?
Seattle Sounders Lineup
Expected Lineup: Frei, Kee-Hee Kim, Roldan, Gómez Andrade, Tolo, Vargas, Roldan, Rusnák, Ferreira, De la Vega, Kent
Out: D. Musovski, J. Morris, J. Ragen, P. Arriola
Head Coach: Brian Schmetzer

San Diego FC: form and statistics
San Diego FC, the cool newcomer, struts through Lumen Field, black and gold kits shining in white-hot confidence. Sitting second with 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, they have kept themselves undefeated for the last five games (WWWDW), showing that they got some grit on the road (WLLLW). On the road, the 2-1 victory against LA Galaxy was bigger than just a win: 60% possession, 6 corners, a yellow card, and giving just 3 shots on target. In the dying moment, J. Lozano stole the limelight with the winner (San Diego Union-Tribune).
Season stats at one extreme show 1.8 goals/game, 5.5 corners/game; then 1.1 goals conceded/game, and 2.1 yellow cards/game. Marcus Godoy, the rookie, goes with Carlos de la Torre, an elder statesman and master of flair; then 8/10 on over 2.5 goals sees a lot of action.
Coach Mikey Varas, a former Sounders assistant, has insight into Seattle's game plan (ESPN source), but injuries to Boateng and Reyes have thinned their ranks. With a 3-0 win against Seattle in the H2H, San Diego should be really high on momentum, hopefully something that can shake the hosts in maintaining their streak.
San Diego FC Lineup
Expected Lineup: CJ dos Santos, Bombino, Kumado, McVey, McNair, de la Torre, Tverskov, Godoy, Dreyer, Lozano, Mighten
Out: E. Boateng, H. Diop, Andrés Reyes, M. Ingvartsen
Head Coach: Mikey Varas

Seattle Sounders vs San Diego FC Head-to-Head Statistics
The Sounders of Seattle and San Diego FC have clashed on one occasion, with San Diego winning 3-0 during their debut in 2025. No clear H2H streaks exist yet, yet San Diego's commanding presence sets the tone.
With a short history, Seattle's home form- WDWWW- differs from San Diego's away resilience-WLLLW. This should thus be a close and goal-filled affair as teams try to settle in the infancy of this rivalry.

Seattle Sounders vs San Diego FC Match Prediction
A little pint of prevailing 1.789 for Seattle Sounders, with their 6-5-4 and flawless home record of WDWWW, as opposed to a dominating 3.985 for San Diego FC with its five non-losing run (8-3-4). Seattle stand ahead of San Diego, scoring at 1.5 goals per game and getting the first goal in 6 of the 8 games, in front of San Diego's 1.8 goals in each game; still, San Diego's 3-0 win in their last H2H meeting and the 8 out of 10 times scoring trend above 2.5 goals show it might be a real contest. With defenses conceding 1.3 and 1.1 goals a game, respectively, there could be goals in this one. Surgery in Seattle wins it by a nose.
