The three key factors to understand why Seattle Sounders is the best candidate to win the MLS

The MLS is getting closer to the playoffs and the current champion Seattle Sounders appears as a firm candidate to win the MLS again. He is in first place in the Western Conference with 27 points followed by Portland Timbers who has 24. He has only lost three games so far this season in MLS.

His great offensive power is one of the keys that make Seattle Sounders dream of MLS again. In 14 games he scored 32 goals, of which 8 were scored by his scorer Raul Ruidiaz. The Peruvian striker has scored 8 goals in 10 games. He is followed by US national team player Jordan Morris with 5 goals.

Another key factor is the experience of the players who play as midfielders. They know how to control the pace of play and thus overcome rivals. Joao Paulo and Nicolas Lodeiro are the two Seattle Sounders players who appear as candidates to play the All Star game and be on the MLS team of the season.

The last key to winning the championship is that most of the players already know what it is to win and play the playoffs. The experience of the Seattle Sounders players is going to be very important heading into the MLS playoffs as the pressure from those games is great.
