Seattle Sounders FC MLS Betting
Death, taxes, and the Seattle Sounders. The Sounders have been the most consistent team in the MLS since their inception in 2009. They have finished in the top four in the Western Conference standings in all 13 seasons of their existence, and they have four US Open Cups and four MLS Cup Finals appearances to their credit. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the Sounders are one of the favorites to win the MLS Cup by the soccer betting odds ahead of the 2022 season.

Seattle Sounders FC 2022 Preview
After years of trying and coming up short, the Seattle Sounders became the first MLS team to win the CONCACAF Champions League in May. Seattle hammered Motagua in the Round of 16 and cruised past Club Leon to set up a semifinal showdown with New York City FC. The Sounders advanced 4-2 on aggregate to face UNAM in the CONCACAF Champions League Final.
Seattle was able to claw back from a 2-0 deficit on the road to earn a draw thanks to two late penalty conversions from Nicolas Lodeiro. That meant the Sounders only needed to win in the second leg at home, and they did thanks to a brace from Raul Ruidiaz and Lodeiro.
That CONCACAF Champions League title came at a price though. Seattle has had to play a lot of reserves in the first third of the regular season in its bid to make history.
Lodeiro and Ruidiaz have only played in six of Seattle’s first 11 matches, and that is why the Sounders are near the bottom of the table. They should recover and make the playoffs barring injury, but they are looking forward to some time off in the schedule.

The Seattle Sounders have been incredible since they first entered the MLS in 2009. Seattle has never finished worse than fourth in the Western Conference, and the Sounders have made the postseason in all 13 years of their existence.
Seattle wasted no time adding silverware to its mantle. The club won the US Open Cup in each of its first three seasons, and the Sounders tied the Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City for the most US Open Cup titles in the MLS era with their fourth title in 2014. They nearly tied older teams like Maccabi Los Angeles and the Bethlehem Steel with five titles, but they fell in the 2012 US Open Cup Final.
That success in the US Open Cup didn’t translate to success in the MLS playoffs until 2016. Seattle failed to advance to the MLS Cup Finals in any of its first seven seasons, but the Sounders finally broke through the glass ceiling in 2016. They claimed their first MLS Cup title on the road against Toronto FC, beating the Reds in penalties after a scoreless regulation and extra time, and that started a rivalry between these two clubs.
The Sounders fell to Toronto FC in the MLS Cup rematch in 2017, and the two clubs met in the finals for the third time in four years in 2019. After a scoreless first half, Seattle dominated in the second half with three goals to claim its second MLS Cup.
