Recent results and form
San Diego FC come into Sunday's MLS 2026 game off the back of consecutive ties, an entertaining 3-3 draw with Houston Dynamo FC in San Diego followed by a 2-2 tie in Los Angeles at the home of LA Galaxy, two results that indicate a lively game is on the cards. Chrome and Azul have now drawn four, won none and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions and have work to do if they're to climb the standings from their current 23rd placed position.
Visitors and head-to-head
The visitors are in slightly better form, winning three, drawing one and losing one of their last five in all competitions, but Seattle Sounders are still only 13th in MLS 2026 with 42 points from 30 matches, just eight points better off than their opponents on Sunday.
Seattle haven't won their last trip to San Diego FC and in fact, the last three meetings between the two teams are perfectly balanced with each side winning once and one draw, most recently a 1-1 tie at Lumen Field, Seattle's home ground.
Tactical outlook
San Diego FC are a ball-dominant 4-3-3 team that likes to press high and suffocate opponents with a high tempo game and they should have Seattle pinned back early on. However, Rave Green's fluid system should be able to adapt to San Diego's style and punish the hosts if they leave any space in behind.
Seattle’s dynamic duo are in fine form
Odds and predictions
Backing San Diego FC at 2.12 seems a little optimistic when Seattle are available at 2.9 and the draw is priced up at 3.95, a clear sign that this could be a close game. There is plenty of reason to believe that this game will be full of goals however, as Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.4 and Both Teams To Score is available at 1.36, both of which are our main predictions for this MLS game.
Players to watch
- Marcus Ingvartsen leads the way for the Chrome and Azul with 12 goals in 23 MLS 2026 matches, so he is the most likely to get the home side the lead.
- But Seattle's Dejan Joveljic has scored 11 goals in 24 MLS 2026 games, so he's the best bet to get a goal for the visiting team.
- Anders Dreyer has scored three of San Diego's eight goals in their last five games in all competitions, so he's the hottest player for the host team and looks the most likely to cause Seattle problems on Sunday.
