Seattle’s home advantage isn’t enough to overcome Chivas’s Liga MX pedigree in this Phase One decider, with the away side priced as clear favourites at Lumen Field.
The market has Chivas as a 48% favourite, with Seattle given just a 28% chance and the draw-to-penalties scenario sitting at 23%. That wide gap reflects the view that Liga MX quality will tell even on the road. This is Seattle’s final Phase One fixture, with both sides hunting a top-four finish to advance. 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.
