Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer

Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC clash at the Lumen Field, in what has all the ingredients of a blockbuster game. With the Sounders occupying the last play-off place and Los Angeles sitting atop of the Western Conference it should be a cracker. The home side have started to find their groove again after their monumental Concanaf Champions League victory. Despite losing their first two games after managing to become the first American team to lift the said trophy, they are in top form at the moment, winning four of their last five games since then. They are also extremely strong at home, winning seven of their last nine and scoring at least three goals in six of those. Given that they have a game in hand, a win here would see them climb up to fifth place in the rankings, so Brian Schmetzer’s players should be pumping for this one.

The Los Angeles outfit are first and in equally top form ahead of this fixture. They have won seven of their last eleven games, yet have struggled with key injuries lately, losing three of their last five, including a derby Cup game against LA Galaxy in their last away game. While they are the second best away team in the Western Conference, a recent slump in form has seen them lose three of their last five away games. They also have found it hard to keep their defence intact, having kept just one clean sheet in their last six away from Los Angeles.
