Slick Seattle meet solid Revs
Seattle Sounders have just come off two great performances in which they beat Minnesota United 3-1 at home and Sporting Kansas City 2-1 at home. This has put Brian Schmetzer's men in good form with 5 without defeat (W3, D2) and a 3-game winning streak.
But the Revs will provide a different test to either Minnesota or Sporting Kansas for Seattle on Saturday as they are a very solid team at Gillette Stadium, where they have won 9, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their 13 home league matches in MLS 2026.
So while New England's overall form is mixed (W3, L2) over the last 5, we don't think the Sounders will walk away with all 3 points on Saturday.
Rave Green have the right man for Revs’ diamond
Recent form
Seattle are on a 3-game win streak, but New England come into this one on the back of a 4-2 home win over Orlando City, so they should be motivated to respond to the 3-0 defeat they suffered in their last away game at Real Salt Lake.
Tactical battle
This is a chess match with Revs boss Marko Mitrovic quickly instilling the 4-4-2 diamond system that will squeeze the middle and can press high. The Sounders are a bit more fluid and tend to build-up in a 4-2-3-1 structure with width and the ability to transition quickly.
So this could be a close game with the Rave Green's best chance coming if they can create enough chaos in the middle of the park to nick possession in those vital areas.
Both teams to score looks likely
Both teams to score at 1.45 looks very live here as New England are averaging 2.00 goals per-game at home while Seattle average just 0.92 away.
- New England are averaging 2.00 goals per-game scored and 1.00 goals conceded at home in MLS 2026 while Seattle have scored just 0.92 per-game away from home all season – so just 12 times on the road.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 also fits nicely with these two's offensive stats on paper, but we have to give New England the edge here on their own turf with Seattle's season record away from Lumen Field being W3, D5, L5.
- The odds make New England 1.9 favourites, Seattle 3.45 and draw 3.9.
- The Rave Green are in much better form at the moment and can get a result in this one – Seattle beat the Revolution 2-0 in MLS 2024 so there is a bit of payback on the menu.
