Seattle Sounders FC vs Columbus Crew Live Stream, Predictions (Jul 06)

📏 Form Guide

Seattle Sounders FC

LLLLLW

Seattle Sounders FC, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-0 MLS triumph over Austin FC.

It’s been seldom in recent times that Seattle Sounders FC have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Seattle Sounders FC have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 13 goals in the process.

Columbus Crew

LDLWWW 📈

Columbus Crew head into the encounter following a 1-0 MLS win with the downing of Philadelphia Union in their last fixture.

Columbus Crew have been dangerous up front leading up to this encounter, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Columbus Crew have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same outings. That trend might not be carried forward into this match, however.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Inspecting their past head to head clashes dating back to 05/05/2018 shows us that Seattle Sounders FC have won 3 of these & Columbus Crew 1, with the number of drawn matches standing at 2.

15 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 9 of them from The Sounders and 6 netted by The Crew. That is an average goals per game value of 2.5.

ℹ️ Team News: Seattle Sounders FC

Yeimar Gómez Andrade (Muscle injury), Paul Arriola (Cruciate ligament tear) and Kee-hee Kim (Calf injury) will be missing for Seattle Sounders FC manager Brian Schmetzer.

It looks as if The Sounders look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Stefan Frei, Kalani Kossa-Rienzi, Alex Roldan, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo, Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Jesús Ferreira, Albert Rusnák, Paul Rothrock and Danny Musovski.

ℹ️ Team News: Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew manager Wilfried Nancy has some current player fitness concerns. Patrick Schulte (Injury to abdominal muscles), Nicholas Hagen (Contracture) and Rudy Camacho (Hamstring injury) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that The Crew might elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Evan Bush, Andres Herrera, Steven Moreira, Yevgen Cheberko, Lassi Lappalainen, Sean Zawadzki, Darlington Nagbe, Dylan Chambost, Diego Rossi, Jacen Russell-Rowe and Dániel Gazdag.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Columbus Crew will have to play well to breach the defence of this Seattle Sounders FC side who we think might well win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We therefore see a hard-fought 1-0 advantage for Seattle Sounders FC at the end of the 90 minutes.

Let’s see.
