Monday night in the MLS sees that Kansas City travel 1,676.8 miles all the way to Lumen Field as they take on the Seattle Sounders.

Seattle Sounders

A team that have been up and down across their last five games is the Seattle Sounders. Over that span their fans have seen a win, a loss, a win, a loss and then finally another win. They haven’t managed to win two consecutive games since last July so this match against Kansas would be the perfect opportunity to do so.

28 games into the MLS season and Seattle sit in fifth place of the Western Conference with 12 wins, 7 losses, 9 draws and therefore 43 points, only five points behind second placed Los Angeles FC. That can be attributed to the incredible defensive displays. The Sounders have conceded 32 goals, making them the joint second best team in the MLS for that department.

This match up has been hit and miss for Seattle as they have won against Kansas 11 times, the same for the other way around as Kansas have won 11 times. There has been only four occasions when the game has ended in a draw.

Sporting Kansas City

Last season and Kansas finishes inside the top 10, now a year later and they are around that cusp once more. With only four games to go in the post-season, Kansas are sat on 28 points after 7 wins, 14 losses and 7 draws. That has them in 12th place. The team currently in 10th have 34 points so things will have to go their way if they want to achieve that goal.

Over their last five games, The Wizards have won twice, lost once and drawn twice. That’s not the worst form but their opponents are just better than them at the moment. It is not just the last five games, Kansas have failed to beat Seattle in the last six meetings between the two sides and it streak looks likely to be extended in this match.

What’s the tip?

Our betting experts have gone with Half Time/Full Time Seattle + Both Teams To Score. Kansas have struggled massively when trying to beat this side and we feel that will be the case again however, we think that they will still be able to beat Seattle’s defence despite it being the second best in the league. Now that it is the post-season, that defence will be fatigued after a long campaign, giving Kansas the best chance to break down the back line.
