Two MLS teams that have had a promising start to the season clash at PayPal Park on Sunday when the San Jose Earthquakes face the Seattle Sounders, with pre-match odds fairly even.
San Jose is still managed by Bruce Arena, the same coach who led them to a strong start in the 2025 season before they faltered and failed to even reach the playoffs. However, the team appears to be peaking in 2026. In the Western Conference, only they and San Diego kept three clean sheets and won all three matches.
Ousseni Bouda, from Burkina Faso, has been a prolific striker this season. Including preseason games, he has played six games for San Jose since February 7. He scored the game-winning goal against the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park and one against Atlanta United in Major League Soccer.

Our San Jose Earthquakes vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
Like San Jose, things seem to be going well for the Seattle Sounders; they won their first two games of the season at Lumen Field. But they made a statement at BC Place in Canada, in the Concacaf Champions League: they thrashed the Vancouver Whitecaps, one of the contenders to win everything this season, 3-0.
With limited possession, Seattle hurt Vancouver. Arriola scored two goals and Paul Rothrock added the third; the same Rothrock who scored and assisted against Colorado and had a fantastic game on February 22 in the opening match.
Our prediction for San Jose Earthquakes vs Seattle Sounders is: Over 3.5 goals.
