Vancouver Whitecaps at Seattle Sounders 7/21/18 - MLS Picks & Predictions

The Seattle Sounders sadly lost the first Cascadia Derby of the season at home, but they are now getting ready for the second. They will now play host to Vancouver on Saturday, who are coming off a really bad loss.

Seattle (4-9-5) should consider themselves really lucky about the outcome of their last match. They eventually held Atlanta United to a 1-1 draw on the road, but had to fight really hard in order to avoid the loss. They have been pretty solid lately, as they have lost just one of their last five (1-1-3). They are now sitting at the 10th spot of the Western Conference with 17 points, 11 behind the playoffs. They haven’t been very good at home so far (2-4-2), where they have only kept a single clean sheet. Vancouver (7-8-5) are coming off a really bad loss on the road against DC United on Saturday. It was a really balanced match between the two, but their opponents had already scored three goals before Vancouver scored a late one. That was their third loss in their last four (1-3-0). Vancouver are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Western Conference with 26 points, two behind the playoff spots. They have been mediocre at best on the road (3-6-1), where they have won just one of their last seven (1-5-1).
