Seattle Sounders FC
The Sounders blast into this matchup sporting a 5-5-9 record that only puts them two spots above dead last in the MLS. However, with a -5 goal differential, Seattle is putting up the toughest fight out of all the bottom of the rung teams. And since they’ve posted a 2-2-1 record in their last 5 matchups, there’s hope that Seattle might be able to turn things around. There might be enough time left in the season for a minor turnaround, but the Sounders will need to pick up the road win this Wednesday. The online soccer betting odds aren’t siding with Seattle however. Ultimately this makes them a great straight up option this midweek.
Players to Watch: Danny Hoesen (19 GP, 10 G, 3 A), Chris Wondolowski (19 GP, 6 G, 3 A), and Valeri Qazaishvili (19 GP, 4 G, 3 A).
San Jose Earthquakes
The Earthquakes tumble into this matchup sporting a disappointing 2-6-11 record that ranks them dead last in the MLS standings. On top of that, San Jose is sitting on a poor -10 goal differential on the season. Clearly San Jose is having a hard tie scoring this year, and the fact that they rank 15th in the MLS in scoring makes that perfectly clear. Additionally, the Earthquakes are tied for 17th in the league in goals allowing. So while they can’t seem to score any, they’re unable to stop their opponents either. This should make it perfectly clear that they’ll be outgunned in Wednesday’s contest against Seattle. Especially when considering that San Jose is 0-2-3 in their last 5 matchups.
Players to Watch: Will Bruin (16 GP, 5 G, 4 A), Nicolas Lodeiro (13 GP, 4 G, 2 A), and Cristian Roldan (19 GP, 1 G, 3 A).
