Seattle Sounder vs LA Galaxy Prediction: Don't write off either team

Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy prepare for a clash against each other in the MLS and the game will take place at the Lumen Field. Seattle Sounders have not been in their best form and they have suffered poor results in recent games, but they are coming off a win from last week. While LA Galaxy have had a better experience, they are also far from their best and their recent results indicate there's a lot of work to be done in the team. They were defeated in their last game and they are hoping to avoid another defeat as much as possible.

The Seattle Sounders are hardly regarded as a good team even though they are far from being a poor team. They have struggled to produce consistent results since the beginning of the season as we can see from their last 5 league games, when they had 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. And their overall record this season also points to a poor performance from the team so far, as they have recorded 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses so far. They currently rank in 9th place on the western conference table with 12 points. 

Seattle Sounders pulled an almost impossible result last weekend against Philadelphia Union and the result was a 3-2 win for Seattle in the end. They scored all 3 goals in the first half with Raul Ruidiaz (13, 27), Obed Vargas (22) both finding the back of the net to give Seattle a comfortable lead into the break. As expected, Philadelphia fought back and managed to pull 2 goals back, but Seattle won eventually by 3 goals to 2. According to stats Seattle had 42% possession, 4 shots on target and 10 corners. They also created 3 big chances but missed 2.

LA Galaxy were disappointed with the result of their last match. They had won back-to-back games in both games prior to the defeat and they hoped to continue that run for as long as they can, but it ended in a defeat. Results from their last 5 league games reveal they had 3 wins and 2 losses and their overall season results is currently 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. They are currently ranked in 2nd spot on the western conference table with 18 points. 

LA Galaxy met their last defeat against Austin FC away from home. They conceded both goals in the 7th and 19th minutes and they tried to get back into the game but failed. The game stayed that way until the end and LA Galaxy were beaten. As a consolation to them, they were the better team in the game. According to stats, LA Galaxy had 59% possession, 5 shots on target and 10 corners. They also created 1 big chance but missed it.

According to the h2h, the last 20 games between LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders shows 10 wins for Seattle Sounders, 3 wins for LA Galaxy and 7 matches ended in a draw.

Both oppositions have the desire to win this game and although Seattle are coming in as favorites, it would be terrible to write off LA Galaxy in this game. 

On the h2h, Seattle Sounders are without a clean sheet in the last 9 meetings. In 5 of the last 6 meetings, there were more than 2.5 goals scored and in 8 of the last 9, both teams scored.
