Seattle Sounders are marginal favourites at Lumen Field, but the sharper value sits in a goals market that expects both sides to find the net.
The market prices Seattle at 46% to take all three points on home soil, with Queretaro at 29% and a shootout finish at 26%. That reflects home advantage in a format where draws don’t exist and every point matters across three Phase One fixtures. The Sounders are playing their second of three group games in a sprint to the knockout rounds. Kick-off at Lumen Field is set for 3:30 PM ET / 2:30 PM CT / 1:30 PM MT / 12:30 PM PT on Sunday, August 9.
