Seattle Sounders Fc vs Fc Dallas Picks and Predictions May 24th 2025

FC Dallas Seeks to Snap 21-Match Drought in Seattle vs. Sounders

When FC Dallas takes the field at Lumen Field on Saturday afternoon, they’ll be trying to exorcise more than a decade of demons. Dallas hasn’t won in Seattle in their past 21 visits across all competitions — a streak dating back to the 2011 U.S. Open Cup semifinals.

With the Seattle Sounders surging and Dallas navigating a grueling week, the odds are once again stacked against the visitors.

Long Road Woes in the Emerald City

The record speaks for itself: 0-17-4 in Seattle since that last win 13 years ago. Despite that, Dallas has shown resilience on the road this season with a 3-1-3 away record in MLS play. However, their momentum was derailed in early May with a humbling 5-0 loss to San Diego that snapped a six-game road unbeaten streak.

Dallas (4-5-4, 16 points) comes into Saturday’s match after a physically and emotionally draining week. They lost 2-0 to Houston at home in the Texas Derby, then pushed New York Red Bulls to extra time in the U.S. Open Cup before falling in a penalty shootout.

“Having Paxton back has been amazing, he’s raised the level of play in our training.”
— Eric Quill, FC Dallas Head Coach

A bright spot for the club has been the return of midfielder Paxton Pomykal, who’s working his way back into form after missing nearly all of last season with a knee injury. He logged 55 minutes against the Red Bulls and continues to be a key figure in Dallas’ midfield revival.

For fans analyzing MLS betting picks, Dallas’ poor track record in Seattle adds weight to the home side’s odds — but recent road resilience adds a wrinkle.

Seattle Riding Wave of Form

The Sounders (5-4-5, 20 points) have found their stride after a slow start. They’re 4-1-2 in their last seven matches and continue to climb the Western Conference table.

“We need to bring the intensity that we have in the last seven games. We want to score goals. We want to push the tempo.”
— Cristian Roldan, Seattle Sounders Midfielder

With a high-tempo approach and tight defensive organization, Seattle will look to strike early and snuff out any hope Dallas might carry into this match.

Saturday also marks the first meeting between Seattle’s Jesus Ferreira and his former club since being traded in the offseason. Ferreira has yet to score for the Sounders but has quietly contributed five assists, second-most on the team.
