Atlanta United are set to take on the Seattle Sounders this Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a high-stakes elimination phase clash. With both sides eager to advance deeper into the competition, the matchup is expected to be tightly contested, featuring two teams with contrasting recent form and growing urgency.
Seattle enter the fixture on a relatively solid run, having picked up ten wins from their 23 MLS matches this season. Currently sitting fourth in the Western Conference standings, the Sounders are eyeing back-to-back victories after edging San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 in their latest outing. Their recent performances suggest a team starting to build momentum at just the right time, especially with the Leagues Cup looming.
On the other hand, Atlanta United find themselves in a difficult spot. Winless in their last seven MLS matches, the Five Stripes have managed just three draws in that span, with four defeats—including a recent 2-1 loss to Charlotte FC. Their inconsistency and defensive vulnerabilities have been costly, and they’ll need a drastic turnaround if they’re to keep their postseason hopes alive.
In terms of recent form, Seattle appear to have the upper hand. The Sounders have won three of their last six MLS fixtures, compared to Atlanta’s three draws over the same stretch. That disparity in results points to Seattle having greater momentum and confidence heading into Saturday’s match.

Our Atlanta United Fc vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
The injury situation could further complicate matters for the home side. Atlanta United will be without Ajani Fortune (foot), Stian Gregersen (thigh), and goalkeeper Josh Cohen. Meanwhile, Seattle are missing several key figures as well, including veteran keeper Stefan Frei (head injury), winger Paul Arriola, and midfield anchor Joao Paulo—both sidelined with knee problems.
Despite the injuries on both sides, the Sounders’ recent form and steadier defensive performances make them slight favorites. Historically, matches between these two sides have been close, with three draws in six recent meetings. However, Atlanta’s current slump casts doubt on their ability to break that trend.
Saturday’s showdown is shaping up to be a pivotal moment in both teams’ seasons. While Atlanta will be desperate to reverse their fortunes in front of their home fans, Seattle’s sharper edge and track record suggest they may have the tools to walk away with a crucial win. If the Sounders can exploit Atlanta’s defensive gaps, they could secure a third victory in four matches and advance with confidence. Our prediction for Atlanta United FC vs. Seattle Sounders: Sounders to win.
