Seattle is looking to lock down a top-four spot in the West for home-field advantage, while Miami’s playoff seeding is slipping after a 3-0 loss to Charlotte. The Messi-led squad has games in hand, but its form is shaky, and Suarez remains unavailable.

Seattle Can Win If…

• Defense holds strong. They shut out Miami in the Leagues Cup final and limited Charlotte to just two goals last weekend despite rotation.
• Raúl Ruidíaz and Jordan Morris step up. Morris is nearing full return from injury, and his pace could stretch Miami’s back line.
• Collective effort continues. Coach Brian Schmetzer emphasized squad unity — a must if key starters remain limited.

Miami Can Win If…

• Lionel Messi bounces back. After a rare penalty miss, Messi needs to drive the attack with Suarez still suspended.
• Midfield stays organized. Mascherano admitted the team is losing shape too early in matches. Keeping possession and defensive discipline is critical.
• Home-field advantage counts. Despite their struggles, Miami has lost just once at home in their last 10 MLS fixtures.
