Our Predictions
NYCFC are strong at home and have more to lose if they drop points. With Seattle missing big names and NYCFC holding a good head-to-head record at home, the odds of 2.10 offer fair value.
Both sides have scored and conceded often in recent games. NYC and Seattle’s attacks remain dangerous, while their defenses have shown cracks, so 1.50 for both teams to score looks logical.
Recent form and past meetings point to an open match with chances. Over 2.5 goals at 1.57 is backed by attacking stats and shaky defending from both teams.
Welcome to Extratips – New York City vs Seattle Sounders Prediction, MLS Match Preview
It's almost time for a classic at Yankee Stadium, where New York City FC (8th place, Eastern Conference, 13-9-5 record) takes on Seattle Sounders FC (4th in the West, 12-7-8 record) on October 18, 2025 at 22:00 UTC. The stakes are high, with NYCFC hoping to climb into playoff safety and Seattle aiming to secure a top-three finish. Both sides have injuries to key starters, which could turn the tide. New York City have won 3 of their last 5 vs Seattle, but history suggests these teams don't often share points. NYC thrives at home, but Seattle's away form and attacking threat, led by Alonso Martínez, cannot be ignored. Expect a tactical battle: both teams tend to score, but each has left gaps at the back. Will NYCFC's home advantage or Seattle’s attack prevail? Don't miss it—this game could have goalmouth action from the start.
