The Seattle Seahawks (2-4) are struggling to find wins in the 2015 NFL season and they hope to gain momentum in a Week 7 matchup against equally struggling division rivals San Francisco 49ers (2-4) at the Levi's Stadium this Thursday.
This high-profile match will be crucial for both teams as they would want to avoid their fifth loss in the current season and stay in contention for the playoffs.
Seattle suffered another devastating fourth quarter collapse to fall against Cam Newton and his undefeated Carolina Panthers at the CenturyLink Field last Sunday, as reported by CBS Sports.
While the Panthers celebrated with their fifth straight win to open the season, Russell Wilson and his crew were left with a lot of questions regarding their ability to finish off opponents.
It was only the Seahawks' second loss at home in the past two years and so head coach Pete Carroll still expressed confidence that they can bounce back from their current woes.
Meanwhile, the Niners pulled off a momentum-shifting win over the Baltimore Ravens, 25-20, at their home stadium also last Sunday, as per Fansided.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdowns to snap San Francisco's four-game skid and hopefully bring some energy in their match with Seattle this week.
Prediction: Seahawks win, 21-17.
