In the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs, the San Francisco 49ers (13-4) will face off against the Seattle Seahawks (9-8) on Saturday. The Seattle Seahawks clinched a playoff berth by taking the seventh and final NFC wild card spot, setting up a road matchup with the second-seeded NFC West champions San Francisco 49ers. The San Francisco 49ers have won their past two games against the Seattle Seahawks. With that kind of recent history in mind, it’s easy to see why they’re confident about reaching the divisional round. On the other side, a Seattle Seahawks win will propel the visitors into the second round of playoffs, giving them a good chance at going all the way.

Form San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers signed off on the regular season by beating the Arizona Cardinals 38-13 to make it ten wins in a row, leaving them 10-0 in their last 10 matches.

Playing at the Levi’s Stadium brings out the best in the San Francisco 49ers. They have the sixth-best home offensive record, averaging 28.0 points per game with home-field advantage and 26.5 points for all 17 of their regular season games. Visiting offenses normally struggle to break down the hosts’ defense, which has the first-best defensive record at home, having only allowed 14.8 points on their own turf and 16.3 points in all outings.

The San Francisco 49ers earned the right to be in the playoffs after a 13-4 season. The hosts finished first in the NFC West and took the second seed in the NFC. While it will be nothing easy, they hope to have a deep postseason run.

Form Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks have a knack for beating NFC West teams, having won four of their last five divisional matchups. They ended the regular season with a 19-16 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, leaving them 5-5 in the last ten games.

It’s been a rough few weeks for the visiting offense in terms of points scored. In the last five matches, the Seattle Seahawks have only put up 17.8 points on average which is way below their season average of 23.9 points. On the other side, the defense has struggled to contain opposing offenses, giving up 23.6 points per game this year.

Expectations aren’t high for the Seattle Seahawks going into the playoffs. The hosts clinched a postseason berth by taking the seventh seed in the NFC Conference, finishing second in the NFC West, but chances of a deep postseason run appear to be a long shot.
