The 2025 MLS playoffs kick off with a thrilling first-round matchup as Minnesota United host Seattle Sounders at Allianz Field. This will be the first clash in their best-of-three series, with the winner advancing to the Conference semi-finals against either San Diego FC or Portland Timbers.

Match Preview

Minnesota United finished fourth in the Western Conference with 58 points from 34 matches — their best league finish since 2020. Despite ending the regular season with a 2-1 defeat to LA Galaxy, Eric Ramsay’s men have been solid throughout the campaign. Joaquin Pereyra’s late goal against the Galaxy was not enough to turn the tide, but it was a minor setback given their playoff qualification was already secured.

Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, ended the regular season in fifth place, just three points behind Minnesota. The Rave Greens closed out the campaign in style, winning their final three games to build confidence heading into the playoffs. Their sharpness in attack and composure in defense make them dangerous opponents for any side.

Head-to-Head and Key Stats

Seattle have dominated this fixture historically, winning 14 of the 19 meetings.
Minnesota, however, have claimed victory in their last two encounters against the Sounders — they have never beaten them three times in a row.
Seattle come into this match unbeaten in their last four games, while Minnesota have managed just one win in their last five.

Prediction

Seattle’s recent momentum and attacking efficiency could prove decisive in this first-leg showdown. While Minnesota have home advantage, their inconsistency in the final third might cost them. Expect the Sounders to edge ahead in the opening match of the series.

Prediction: Minnesota United 0–2 Seattle Sounders
