Philadelphia Union vs Seattle Sounders
📖 The Preview
Both teams look set to cancel each other out here, and honestly a 1-1 feels about right. Philadelphia are slight favourites on home turf but their form over the last ten is pretty patchy, and Seattle have strung together some decent results lately. Seattle do have a fair few doubts though, with Morris, both Roldans, Ragen, Petkovic, and Kim Kee-Hee all potentially missing, which limits what they can do. Philly nick one, Seattle respond, and both sides probably settle for the point.
