Sacramento Republic vs Seattle Sounders Prediction: Don’t write off Sacramento on current form

The knockout round of the US Open Cup continues this week as Sacramento Republic hosts Seattle Sounders at the Heart Health Park. Sacramento Republic suffered a defeat in their last match against Las Vegas Knights and they are looking to bounce back when they take on Seattle Sounders. And for the Seattle Sounders, they can’t feel more confident than they are right now, after recording their 3rd win in their last game.

The Sacramento Republic are headed back to the Heart Health Park for a crunchy tie with MLS club Seattle Sounders. They have had an unstable form in the last few weeks as their results clearly show inconsistencies. They are also coming off a defeat in their last league game against Las Vegas Republic at home, which makes their chances of a win against Seattle Sounders incredibly small.

Sacramento’s recent form shows they had 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in 5 matches (WLDWL), and at home they had 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats (DLLWL).

Sacramento Republic played 2 matches in the US Open Cup. They recorded a 2-0 win over Monterey Bay in the first game and then defeated San Jose Earthquakes 4-3 in the second game.

If there is a better team to progress into the semi final round, it has to be the Seattle Sounders. There’s been a lot of momentum building around the club in recent weeks due to their positive results. The Sounders continued to impress in their last league game against the New England Revolution at home. Now they head into the US Open Cup, hoping to replicate the same form against Championship side Sacramento Republic.

On issues of current form, Seattle Sounders have recorded 4 wins and 1 draw in 5 matches (WDWWW), and their away form was 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats (WLWLD).

Seattle Sounders have played only twice in the US Open Cup. In their first match against Louisville City, they played a 2-2 draw and then went on to win 5-4 on penalties. Then they faced Phoenix Rising in the next game and they won 2-1.

Sacramento Republic and Seattle Sounders have played 3 matches against each other in the past. Sacramento Republic won 2 matches while Seattle Sounders won 1.

Sacramento Republic are currently in bad form which makes us doubt their ability to win this game. But current form and ability can be two different things especially for a club like Sacramento that beat San Jose Earthquakes in the last game. The Seattle Sounders on the other hand are in good form, but we can’t say the same whenever they are playing away from home. Sacramento Republic has a taste of what it is like to beat Seattle Sounders and that can be a source of confidence for them to repeat that here again.
