Seattle is coming into this match with a trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 6 matches, and they have also been in much better form in these. They are starting to find their attack in these matches as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 2 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches, but their defense has not been great as they have allowed at least 1 goal in each of their last 6 matches as well. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches there, scoring at least 2 goals in 2 of those 3 matches while allowing at least 1 goal in each. They are going up against a Real Salt Lake side that has been trending heavily to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 as well as 6 of their last 8 matches. Their attack has been on fire in these matches as they have scored at least 3 goals in each of their last 2 as well as scoring at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 and in 7 of their last 8 matches, scoring 8 goals in their last 2 matches alone. Their defense has still been awful though as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 2 as well as 4 of their last 5 matches, allowing 6 goals in their last 2 matches alone. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 5 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 matches, and they have seen both teams score at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 away matches. Even when these two meet in Seattle, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 5 meetings there, and Real Salt Lake already beat Seattle 2-0 at home earlier this season so Seattle is going to get up for this match with revenge on the mind now that they have been in better form and scoring more goals recently. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
