Chivas de Guadalajara reached the semifinals of the last Mexican Clausura tournament; since then, there has been a long break for the World Cup, and since their return, they have only won 1 of their 6 matches this season. This means that Milito's team, with one match remaining, is mathematically eliminated from advancing to the next round of the Leagues Cup. They will, however, still play their match on Thursday against the Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field.
First, Chivas traveled to Los Angeles to face LAFC. There, they competed well against one of the MLS powerhouses; in fact, Guadalajara dominated the midfield with intelligent possession. They fell behind, but four minutes later, with a masterful pass from Gonzales and a precise finish from Alvarado, they equalized. However, Romo missed the penalty in the shootout that sealed their fate. Then, in San Jose, Chivas needed a victory against FC Dallas. They played a match with excellent passing, but a defensive lapse in the 72nd minute led to the winning goal for the Texas team.
Chivas is focused on returning to Mexico, but Seattle Sounders also has a slim chance of advancing; even so, they impressed, winning convincingly in their previous match against Querétaro, also at Lumen Field, with goals from Gómez, Musoski, and Rusnak.

Our Seattle Sounders vs Chivas Prediction
Seattle finally shook off their post-World Cup losing streak, ending it with a 3-0 victory over Querétaro. Manager Schmetzer deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation that worked well; wingers Gomez, with his goal, and Rothrock, with two assists, were particularly dangerous and found space for key passes throughout the match.
The only two previous Seattle-Guadalajara matches date back to 2018; it was a Concacaf Champions League quarterfinal series that year, which the Mexican club advanced to, but Seattle won 1-0 at Lumen Field, the same venue where they will face each other eight years later.
Our prediction for Seattle Sounders vs Guadalajara is: Seattle Sounders to win.
