On social media, LA Galaxy's most ardent fans considered their last match at Children's Mercy Park against Sporting Kansas City a sure win, given Kansas City's last-place standing in the Western Conference. However, Kansas City escaped with the victory. The last two wins for the bottom-ranked team have come against the LA Galaxy, and next Saturday the Californian side travels to Lumen Field to face the Seattle Sounders.
In 2024, LA Galaxy won the US Open Cup; however, in 2025 they had a disastrous season as defending champions and failed to even make the playoffs. Now, in 2026, Vanney's team is reeling from this latest defeat, and Lumen Field has historically been a difficult venue for them to earn points.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Sounders come into this match on a six-game unbeaten streak; they put in a commendable performance in the Concacaf Champions League, where they were ultimately eliminated in the semifinals by Tigres. In MLS, they knocked the San Jose Earthquakes off the top spot with a 3-2 victory, thanks to goals from Rusnak, Ferreira, and De Rosario in the 89th minute, the late winner.

Our Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles Galaxy Prediction
On the Galaxy side, Marco Reus, the legendary German midfielder, is expected to start in his usual position; he has had decent games lately, although he hasn't typically played the full 90 minutes.
Joseph Paintsil is expected to start for the LA Galaxy in the absence of João Klauss. The Sounders look well-positioned to hand the Galaxy a defeat; incredibly, they haven't lost at Lumen Field since September of last year in the previous MLS season.
Our prediction for Seattle Sounders vs La Galaxy is: Seattle Sounders to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
