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.

Seattle Sounders
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.

Now they head into the US Open Cup, hoping to replicate the same form against Championship side Sacramento Republic.

Expert Betting Tips
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.
