Seattle Sounders (home)
- Seattle are clear favorites with the odds makers for Sunday's matchup with CF Montreal at Lumen Field, where the hosts are 1.54 favorites, the visitors 5.4 and the draw 4.3.
- Seattle have won their last four consecutive games and are unbeaten in their last five (W4, D1), so clearly have the momentum coming into this game.
- Seattle recorded a 2-1 win at home to Sporting Kansas City, before thrashing New England Revolution 3-0 in their most recent outing away from home.
- Albert Rusnak has been particularly impressive of late, supplying four assists in his last five games, with Seattle scoring 13 times during that run.
- Dejan Joveljic is Seattle's leading scorer in MLS 2026 with 11 goals in 24 appearances.
- If they can find him with enough regularity, the Sounders will more than likely get the better of Montreal.
CF Montreal (away)
- Montreal have won only two, drawn one, and lost 11 of their 14 MLS 2026 road games, conceding a very high 2.71 goals per-game in the process.
- Their recent overall form has been mixed to poor, with two wins and three losses from their last five, while they have lost their previous two away fixtures.
- Prince Osei Owusu is Montreal's biggest threat, having scored 15 goals in 25 MLS 2026 games and netting four in his last five.
- If the Canadian international is at his best, he could seriously hurt the hosts' defence.
Players to watch

- Dejan Joveljic is Seattle's leading scorer in MLS 2026 with 11 goals in 24 appearances.

Markets to consider
- The odds don't really allow for any play on Seattle, but we like the chance of some insurance against any shocks by taking both teams to score in the match.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.48 and both teams to score at 1.53 will point towards the home side doing enough up front to earn the win, but we're going to stop there for the main selection as Seattle should do enough to justify their favoritism.
- Seattle have won each of their last three home matches, suggesting Lumen Field has become a real fortress of late, while Montreal have lost their two previous away matches.
Prediction
- We're going to stop there for the main selection as Seattle should do enough to justify their favoritism.
- As insurance against any shocks, we like both teams to score - it offers a sensible hedge while backing Seattle to edge the match.
