With just four games left to play, San Diego FC's MLS postseason hopes are hanging by a thread. A run of six games without a win means that Mikey Varas's side are currently five points outside the Western Conference wild card places. As such, anything less than three points from their home clash with the Seattle Sounders on Saturday night will probably spell the end of their playoff hopes.
Seattle's play off hopes look far more positive, despite last week's disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Montreal. The Sounders are currently seventh in the Western Conference and have a six point cushion over the teams outside the postseason places. Victory on Saturday will not only virtually secure them a place in the playoffs, but it will also significantly increase their chances of a top seven finish they would see them bypass the wild card round.

Our San Diego FC vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
Seattle have struggled for road wins since the midseason break, while San Diego have struggled for wins anywhere over the last two months.
As such, we are going to sit on the fence here and predict a draw.
Given that poor defending has been the root cause of those poor recent results, plus the fact that San Diego will need to go all out for the win, we think there is a very high chance of both teams finding the net on Saturday night.
Our prediction for San Diego FC vs Seattle Sounders is: Draw and both teams to score.
