Seattle Sounders vs San Jose Match Preview

Seattle faces San Jose for the first round of the USA MLS second group. The entire Cup tournament is held in the stadiums of Orlando as a precautionary measure against COVID-19 pandemic.

Before the break, the first two games of the championship were held, with Seattle winning 2-1 in their opening one over Chicago, while in the second game they played a 1-1 draw against Columbus. They are mostly counting on their good strikers, the Peruvian Raúl Ruidíaz and the 25-year-old Jordan Perry Morris. The key player of the team is the Uruguayan midfielder Nicola Lodeiro. Unavailable is the injured Will Bruin. This will be their only missing for tonight's match. 

San Jose had a bad start in the league four months ago, when they played a draw 2-2 n their opening game of the season against Toronto, while in the second game they faced a heavy 2-5 defeat from Minnesota United. There was certainly big inactivity for the players, but also available time for the team to improve and prepare properly for the resumption. No missings are reported for San Jose tonight.

I think Seattle is the superior side here, considering the quality they have in midfield, I expect them to do a great cup run. Seattle to win offered at 2,07 odds is my call in this one.
