Seattle Sounders vs Columbus Crew Prediction
Seattle Sounders vs Columbus Crew Prediction and Betting Tips for Sunday’s MLS clash at Lumen Field. Both sides are pushing for crucial points as the playoff race intensifies. Discover our latest MLS Predictions with detailed stats and expert insights from XpertStats.
- Seattle unbeaten in last four home games vs Columbus Crew
- Sounders average just under 3 goals per game at home
- Columbus Crew struggling on the road with four-match winless streak
After a testing run of results, the Seattle Sounders returned to winning ways with a solid 2-0 home victory over Austin FC last weekend. That result snapped a five-match losing streak across all competitions and reaffirmed the Sounders’ formidable home record. With an average of 2.11 goals scored and just 0.89 conceded per match, Brian Schmetzer’s side remain a tough nut to crack at Lumen Field. They’ve won five of their last six MLS games at home, often keeping clean sheets when they strike first, which could be pivotal once more.
The Sounders’ consistency at Lumen Field has kept them in the playoff mix, sitting comfortably six points above the cut-off. Despite a few defensive absences, their ability to control matches early and maintain composure has been impressive. Their recent form against the Crew adds confidence too — Seattle are unbeaten in their last four home MLS games against Columbus, keeping two clean sheets in that stretch.
Columbus Crew, meanwhile, come into this one on the back of three straight wins, showing resilience and a strong attacking output. They’ve scored an average of 1.5 goals per game but their defensive record remains shaky, conceding 1.75 goals per match on average. Their road form tells the story: they are winless in their last four away matches in the league, losing the last two by an 8-3 aggregate. The Crew’s ability to bounce back after conceding is notable — they’ve rescued points seven times this season after going behind first.
However, Wilfried Nancy’s side are still missing key players, including doubts over their first-choice keepers. This could be a real concern against Seattle’s strong home attack. With the Sounders’ confidence back and the Crew’s away struggles ongoing, the hosts have a strong chance to continue their positive home trend. Expect this to be an open affair with goals likely, given both teams’ high-scoring averages and BTTS stats. That said, the Sounders’ defensive edge at home may just tip the balance in their favour.

Seattle Sounders have an impressive record at Lumen Field this season, winning five of their last six MLS home games. They average 2.11 goals scored and only 0.89 conceded per match, highlighting a balanced attack and solid defence. In contrast, Columbus Crew have struggled on the road, going winless in their last four away league matches, with their last two defeats seeing them concede eight goals in total. The Crew also have key doubts in goalkeeping, with both first-choice stoppers potentially sidelined. Seattle’s historical edge over Columbus at home — unbeaten in their last four meetings here — adds to their confidence. Brian Schmetzer’s men also tend to score first and shut games down, keeping clean sheets in their last five home wins when scoring the opener. With momentum regained after a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Austin FC, Seattle look well-placed to secure three points and continue climbing the Western Conference standings.
