Seattle Sounders vs Minnesota United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS Playoffs 2025

Minnesota United won the first round on penalties

The 2025 MLS playoffs are underway, and our next game will take us to Lumen Field, where Seattle Sounders FC will host Minnesota United FC in the second round of their “Best of Three” series.

This is a must-win game for the home side as they lost the first round on penalties, and another loss will end their hopes of winning the 2025 MLS Cup. Sounders are a very strong team at their home as they won the 2025 Leagues Cup at the same stadium against Inter Miami.

Minnesota, on the other hand, will also face a great challenge as they will be away from home. Under the tutelage of Eric Ramsay, they have played some impressive football and even finished in the top four of the Western Conference.

Players to watch out for:

Daniel Musovski (Seattle Sounders)

The American striker is the top goalscorer for his team as he has found the back of the net 14 times already this season. He is a strong presence in the opposition penalty area. Musovski is also very versatile and can play on the wings as well. Huge responsibility will be on his shoulders to get his team over the line against Minnesota.

Joaquín Pereyra (Minnesota United)

The Argentine maestro has arguably been the best player for Minnesota United this season. His technical ability on the ball is incredible, but his defensive contribution to the team is also impressive. He was phenomenal in the first round as he created multiple goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates.
