This is a Major League Soccer game between two out-of-shape teams. The hosts arrive off the back of consecutive ties, results that have stopped the rot, but they're without a win in five games in all competitions, winning none of their last ten MLS games, eight of which they've lost. Such a run of shocking form is probably why the Sounders recently moved to sign proven MLS scorer Dejan Joveljic, whose arrival has already coincided with a slight turnaround in fortunes. The visitors will arrive at Lumen Field having won none of their last four in the league, winning only one of their last seven. 

Bettors looking for a viable route into this game should consider 'Albert Rusnak +1 Assists'. Seattle's creator-in-chief has pulled the strings nicely this season, and he's been in particularly hot form of late, assisting in each of his last three. Now that he has a deadly forward in Joveljic to feed, the Slovakian isn't expected to slow down any time soon.

Our Seattle Sounders vs New York Red Bulls Prediction

Albert Rusnak arrives in hot creative form, so much so that he looks a little generously priced to register what would be a fourth assists on the spin. As mentioned above, the arrival of Dejan Joveljic, who netted twice last weekend, should help Seattle's main creator to be even more dangerous in the final third. Given his recent form, the fact that he's now able to link up with a high-quality scorer, and his numbers in general, Rusnak should be priced closer to +200. 

Our Seattle Sounders vs New York Red Bulls Pick: Albert Rusnák 1+ Assists.
