The MLS Round of 16 is underway; a highly anticipated matchup will be between Minnesota United and the Seattle Sounders. The first match will be played at Allianz Field in Saint Paul. This competition is also the closest head-to-head tie in the MLS betting world, with no clear favorite. Both teams have achieved more than 15 wins in the long regular season. In Carson against the LA Galaxy, the Loons lost 2-1 on October 18, while the Sounders, with goals from Morris and Ragen, defeated New York City in the final regular-season match.
After the Club World Cup, the Seattle Sounders significantly improved their winning streak. Brian Schmetzer's men have already had a positive season, having won the Leagues Cup at Seattle's Lumen Field by defeating Messi's Inter Miami. The Seattle Sounders are a regular participant in the MLS playoffs, so much so that they have qualified for this stage in 16 of their 17 years of existence.
In 2024, in the round of 16, the Seattle Sounders defeated the Houston Dynamo in consecutive matches and reached the semifinals. But Minnesota United also advanced to this round; in 2024, they defeated Real Salt Lake before being eliminated by the LA Galaxy.

Our Minnesota United vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
In June and August, Minnesota United defeated the Seattle Sounders twice, although both times were in highly contested matches. Argentine Pereyra scored the goal in the latter's 1-0 win over the Sounders; it's clear that scoring first is key, as the Loons have won over 90% of those games.
On the Sounders side, there are four confirmed absences: Kim Kee-Hee, Kent, Gomez, and Arriola. Concerns also surround Pedro De la Vega's health following his substitution in the final regular-season match. This will be the most attractive tie of the MLS Cup quarterfinals.
Our prediction for Sounders vs Minnesota Utd is: Over 2.5 goals.
