Prediction
Seattle Sounders FC 2, Vancouver Whitecaps FC 0
Moneyline (ML)
SEATTLE (-162) is a huge favorite in this one against the banged up and short-handed Vancouver (+425) side. The Sounders look to continue their mastery of the Whitecaps, as Seattle has posted an impressive 4-0-1 mark in the past five meetings vs. Vancouver.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (+115) is the direction to look in this Pacific Northwest tussle played in Central Florida. In the past six meetings between these sides, there has been a pair of scoreless draws, Seattle has scored a total of just seven goals and Vancouver has managed to hit the back of the net just once. The Sounders have just one goal so far through two matches in the bubble, so the UNDER is the call.
