Chivas arrive at Lumen Field as 45% favourites despite Seattle holding home advantage in a Phase One tie that looks tighter on the pitch than the market suggests.
The market prices Chivas at 45% to take all three points, with Seattle backed at just 32% in their own building and a 23% chance the game goes straight to penalties after ninety minutes. That thirteen-point gap reflects Liga MX’s historical edge in these cross-border matchups, though this is Seattle’s third and final Phase One game and home desperation could tilt the balance. Kick-off at Lumen Field is set for 10:30 PM ET / 9:30 PM CT / 8:30 PM MT / 7:30 PM PT on Wednesday, August 12.
