**Seattle rolls in as massive favorites here** — the Sounders are basically unbeaten at home while Minnesota's been a total mess lately. 🔥

Seattle's 1W-4D run is cushioned by a home fortress (2-0 over Real Salt Lake most recently), whereas Minnesota's 0-4 collapse in their last five is genuinely rough. The head-to-head leans heavily Seattle's way too (14 wins vs 3).

Key storylines:

- **Seattle's attack** has options with **J. Morris** and **D. Joveljić** despite missing key depth in **J. Ferreira** and **N. Petković** to injury
- **Minnesota's defensive woes** continue — they're shipping goals constantly and **M. Callender** will face serious pressure from **C. Roldán** and the midfield press
- **A. Rusnák** pulling strings in midfield could be the difference for a Sounders side that's been hard to break down at Lumen

Expected lineups:

- **Seattle Sounders FC**: A. Thomas, N. Tolo, K. Kee-hee, G. Sandnes, K. Kossa-Rienzi, A. Rusnák, S. Brunell, D. Musovski, C. Roldán, J. Morris, D. Joveljić
- **Minnesota United**: D. Callender, A. Markanich, M. Duggan, M. Boxall, K. Duncan, J. Pereyra, W. Trapp, O. Gene, T. Chancalay, K. Yeboah, M. Caldeira

Prediction:

**Seattle 2–0 Minnesota** — Sounders have too much form and too few defensive leaks for a Minnesota side that's falling apart.
