Seattle Sounders vs Minnesota United FC Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.48 expected goals for Seattle Sounders and 1.12 for Minnesota United FC, a combined total of 2.60.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 48% for over 2.5 goals and 52% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Seattle Sounders win, at 45.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 52% and over 2.5 goals at 48%.
A 45% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
