Seattle Sounders Review
The Seattle Sounders, fifth in the Western Conference with 29 points (8W-6D-5L), are coming off a strong 2-0 home win against Austin FC on June 29, 2025, after a disappointing FIFA Club World Cup campaign where they lost all three matches. Coached by Brian Schmetzer, they boast a formidable home record at Lumen Field, winning five of their last six MLS home games, scoring 1.75 goals per match and conceding 0.8. Albert Rusnák (9 goals, 6 assists) and Danny Musovski (6 goals, 3.5 shots per 90 minutes at home) lead the attack, with Jesús Ferreira adding dynamism (4 goals, 6 assists). Injuries to Yeimar Gómez Andrade (muscle), Kim Kee-hee (calf), and Paul Arriola (cruciate ligament), plus Reed Baker-Whiting’s suspension, strain their defense, though Alex Roldan’s versatility at center-back helps. Recent form: WLLLL.
Columbus Crew Review
Columbus Crew, fourth in the Eastern Conference with 37 points (10W-3D-7L), are in top form, winning three straight MLS matches, including a 1-0 upset over Supporters’ Shield leaders Philadelphia Union. Under Wilfried Nancy, their possession-heavy style (60% average) and attacking output (1.45 goals per match) shine, led by Diego Rossi (10 goals, 4 assists) and Jacen Russell-Rowe (7 goals). Their away record is solid (3W-3D-2L), though they’ve conceded 14 goals in eight away games. Injuries to goalkeepers Patrick Schulte (abdominal) and Nicholas Hagen (muscle), plus Rudy Camacho’s questionable status (hamstring), may force Evan Bush into goal. Recent form: WWWLD.
Head to Head
The Sounders and Crew have met 21 times since 2009, with Seattle leading 10-6, including 5 draws. Recent encounters:
September 7, 2024 (MLS, Columbus): Seattle 4-0 Columbus. Rusnák’s hat-trick and Jordan Morris’ goal capitalized on Crew’s goalkeeper red card.
June 19, 2023 (MLS, Seattle): Seattle 2-1 Columbus. Seattle won with late goals.
September 11, 2021 (MLS, Seattle): Seattle 2-0 Columbus. Average goals per match: 2.68, with 66.7% of games over 2.5 goals. Seattle have won their last two against Columbus, both at home, and are unbeaten in their last four home games vs the Crew (2W-2D).
Prediction：Seattle Sounders 2-1 Columbus Crew
The MLS clash on July 6, 2025, at Lumen Field favors Seattle, given their dominant home form (5W in last 6) and Columbus’ injury concerns in goal. Seattle’s attack, led by Rusnák and Musovski, should exploit Columbus’ depleted defense, especially after their 4-0 win in the reverse fixture. Columbus’ possession game and Rossi’s finishing make them dangerous, but their away struggles (14 goals conceded) and Seattle’s 81% home over 1.5 goals rate suggest a high-scoring affair. Bookmakers give Seattle a 41.29% win probability (odds 2.01) vs Columbus’ 41.92% (odds 3.6). Expect Seattle to lean on their home crowd and Musovski’s hot streak to edge a tight contest.
