Prediction Seattle Sounders vs Real Salt Lake 2025 – Betting Tips for the Major League Soccer on 12/10/2025

Match preview

A late-season showdown at Lumen Field sees Seattle Sounders play host to Real Salt Lake in what should be an entertaining Major League Soccer fixture on 12/10/2025. The venue's capacity will offer a charged atmosphere in Seattle, where the Sounders have been the steadier side across the campaign. Ricardo Montero will take charge of the encounter, with both clubs arriving off positive results from the weekend: Seattle edged Portland 1-0 while Real Salt Lake claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Colorado Rapids.

Seattle sit above their visitors in the table and have the league’s attacking rhythm to lean on at home. Over 32 matches the Sounders have amassed 55 goals overall, splitting 37 at Lumen Field and 18 away, while conceding 47 in total with 20 of those coming at home. That home form underlines why bookmakers make Seattle the clear favourite heading into this fixture. Real Salt Lake, sitting lower in the standings, have produced fewer goals — 36 for the season — and have conceded 46. Their away record shows vulnerability; 13 goals scored away against 25 conceded away points to defensive cracks that Seattle can exploit.

Form and recent meetings

Recent runs paint different pictures. Seattle’s form reads as a mixed but resilient sequence with four wins, three draws and three losses in their last ten; they come into this match off a clean-sheet victory at home and with Pedro de la Vega singled out as the weekend’s best-rated performer. Real Salt Lake’s ten-match sequence is more erratic: four wins but six defeats, and no draws, illustrating a team that can hit highs but also drop points regularly. Their most recent performer of note was J. Glad, who earned the best player rating in the win over Colorado.

The teams met earlier in the season with Real Salt Lake claiming a 2-0 success when they hosted Seattle, a result that serves as a reminder that this matchup can swing either way. Yet context matters: Seattle’s home numbers — 37 goals scored and eight clean sheets across the campaign — align with the market view.

Key stats and tactical pointers

Shot metrics show Seattle creating more quality opportunities, with higher shots on target overall across the season. Both sides have produced games where both teams scored at a decent clip; the BTTS percentages for each side reflect games with goals, and Seattle’s over 2.5 matches percentage is higher than Real Salt Lake’s, suggesting this could be a fixture with attacking intent from the hosts.
