Cincinnati vs Seattle Sounders Predictions & Betting Lines

Both sides are doing terrific in their MLS Conferences and the game on the 12^th of March will be a can’t-miss showdown.

Brandon Vazquez to Score Anytime

Neither Brandon Vazquez nor his partner in crime in the attack, Bremmer, managed to open their 2023 MLS score tabs in the opening two games. However, we feel that the time is right for the 24-year-old American to show some of that 2022 MLS mojo we saw last year.

With 19 goals in 35 MLS games, Brandon Vazquez was the 4^th-best finisher in the league last year averaging 0.54 goals per game. The sheer fact that he appeared in 45 games is enough for us to consider our Cincinnati vs Seattle Sounders prediction a slam dunk.

BTTS

Sure, the head-to-head history between the two clubs is quite brief but to be fair, both games ended with the two teams scoring. The first-ever clash between Cincinnati and Seattle Sounders ended with a spectacular 4-1 victory for Seattle Sounders while the rematch ended with a fair 1-1 tie.

Considering how good the two teams seem to be at the moment, we have faith in our Cincinnati vs Seattle Sounders prediction and we expect to see goals galore at Paycor Stadium. Seattle Sounders were lucky to have two back-to-back games at home as they didn’t concede a single goal but the clash on the 12^th of March is going to be a tad more difficult for them.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result

Cincinnati

If we had to pinpoint a major positive sign in Cincinnati’s performance in the first two MLS games this season, it has to be the fact that coach Pat Noonan’s boys seem big at the back. Conceding only once in 180 minutes of soccer is what makes you a favorite to perform well in your third game but the US manager shouldn’t underestimate Seattle Sounders as they won two back-to-back games since the start of the season.

Predicted lineup – Celentano (GK), Barreal, Mosquera, Miazga, Hagglund, Gaddis, Acosta, Moreno, Nwobodo, Vazquez & Bremmer

Seattle Sounders

With a goal record of 6-0, Seattle Sounders deserve to be sitting comfortably at the top of the table in the Western Conference with newly-promoted St. Louis City being the only team to match their number of points. Our key Cincinnati vs Seattle Sounders predictions are heavily dependent on the hope that coach Brian Schmetzer’s boys will continue scoring in a third consecutive game but there aren’t any indications of a change of pace.

Predicted lineup – Frei (GK), Tolo, Gomez, Ragen, Roldan, Paulo, Rusnak, Morris, Lodeiro, Roldan & Heber

Player to Watch: Jordan Morris

Surprisingly or not, Jordan Morris is topping the MLS goalscoring chart at the moment. Having scored 50% of Seattle Sounders’ goals since the start of the season, Jordan Morris is certainly the player to watch on Sunday. He’s the focal point of Seattle Sounders’ attack and he’s on penalty duty. What more does he need to have a solid performance against Cincinnati?
