Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Dejan Joveljic to score against his old club in a game with goals at both ends.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Dejan Joveljic to score anytime | 8/11 (BoyleSports) | Dejan Joveljic has 11 MLS goals this season, eight of them for Sporting before his summer move to Seattle, and he scored against the Sounders for Sporting when these sides drew 1-1 in May. He has three goals since switching clubs, including both in a 2-2 draw with Chicago Fire. Sporting have conceded 63 league goals, with only Orlando City letting in more, and they have lost ten of their 13 away games, shipping 37 goals. BoyleSports’ 8/11 on Joveljic to score against his old side is the standout bet. |
| Andre Luiz to score anytime | 3/1 (Sky Bet) | Andre Luiz has scored four goals in Sporting’s last three games, netting against LAFC, twice against Philadelphia and once in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Houston. Sporting have scored in each of their last four matches, hitting three goals in three of them, so even a leaky side carries a threat. Seattle have conceded in 19 of their 26 league games, and both teams have scored in seven of the Sounders’ last ten. Sky Bet’s 3/1 is a big price for a forward in this kind of form. |

How Seattle Sounders go into the game
Seattle are ninth in the Western Conference and unbeaten in seven MLS games, drawing five before back-to-back home wins over Real Salt Lake (2-0) and Minnesota United (3-1).
That run followed a slump of six straight defeats in July and August, so the Sounders will want to keep their momentum going. Dejan Joveljic, signed from Sporting in the summer, has three goals for his new club.
How Sporting Kansas City go into the game
Sporting Kansas City are bottom of the Western Conference with 21 points from 26 games, and they have conceded 63 goals, more than any MLS side except Orlando City.
Their away record is the worst part of their season, with ten defeats from 13 games on the road, although they did win 2-0 at Houston on Saturday. Andre Luiz has four goals in his last three games.
