FC Cincinnati vs. Seattle Sounders: A Preview
Inconsistent thus far this season, FC Cincinnati presently sits in sixth place in the MLS Eastern Conference rankings. Last week, the away team defeated Real Salt Lake 2-1, and they’ll want to repeat that feat this time around.
Currently, the Seattle Sounders are in 10th position in the Western Conference standings and have not played well this season. The Sounders will need to win this week after losing to the Vancouver Whitecaps by a score of 2-1 in their previous match.
FC Cincinnati vs. Seattle Sounders Key Numbers and Head-to-Head
The longest active run in the league and the team with the joint-highest number of unbeaten streaks of any team is FC Cincinnati, who have gone unbeaten in their previous ten MLS games.
The Seattle Sounders have a strong record against FC Cincinnati and have triumphed in their lone meeting.
The 16 goals scored by Raul Ruidiaz and Jordan Morris together for Seattle Sounders this season are still in question because of the international break.
Since they joined the MLS in 2009, the Seattle Sounders have amassed the most points of any team in the league with 735.
The Seattle Sounders suffered their 16th loss of the year against the Vancouver Whitecaps last season, two more than any other year in Major League Soccer. Brenner’s two goals against Real Salt Lake was FC Cincinnati’s sixth multi-goal game and his fourth such game overall this season.

FC Cincinnati vs. Seattle Sounders Prediction
Since the start of the season, FC Cincinnati has improved throughout the past month and gained in stature. The visiting team has gone unbeaten in their past ten MLS contests and will want to keep this remarkable run going this week.
Seattle Sounders have largely failed to meet expectations this season and have a point to prove in the coming weeks. FC Cincinnati are in better form, however, and hold the upper hand going into this game.
