Football Bet of the Day: Rapids to be slow on the draw in Seattle

Sinking Feeling: Colorado Rapids have been felled by the first goal many times recently

"Seattle have struck first in all of those four recent wins, and in 8/11 on home turf over a longer period"

Back Seattle Next Goal @ 1.824/5 v Colorado

The Sounders are a solid bet for the first goal in tonight's MLS action, says Tobias Gourlay

Seattle v Colorado
Sunday 03:00

Everything went a bit Radio Gaga in Japan this morning. Vissel Kobe 0 Yokohama FM 1, which means we travel to the US of A in need of a W.

Sigi Schmid's Seattle Sounders have won four MLS games in a row at CenturyLink Field and are favourites to make it five straight against Colorado Rapids overnight. At the very least, we fancy them to make a strong start. The hosts have struck first in all of those four recent wins, and in 8/11 on home turf over a longer period.

Pablo Mastroeni's Colorado have leaked the opening goal in 8/11 on the road and look vulnerable to conceding first against in-form hosts tonight.
