Seattle Sounders vs LA Galaxy Prediction: Both sides are evenly matched.

Seattle Sounders will take on bottom side LA Galaxy in the MLS. This match couldn't have come at a better time than now when Seattle Sounders are fighting to keep their spot on the table. Los Angeles, Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps are only within a few points from their position and a negative result might see them lose their place and drop down the table. LA Galaxy are not much of an opposition and they are at the bottom end of the western conference. They will face tough competition from Seattle Sounders, who are in desperate need of points.

Seattle Sounders

Seattle Sounders have had a very good season and they are close to achieving a top table finish in the next few weeks. Seattle Sounders are 3rd in the western conference and on the same point as second place Real Salt Lake (46). Below them are Los Angeles FC with 45 points and Houston Dynamo with 44 points.

Seattle Sounders are the preferred team to win this game because of their very fine form at the moment. They are unbeaten in the last 6 games and they managed to pull off a draw against Nashville SC in their last match.

Seattle Sounders have not forgotten the 3-1 defeat against LA Galaxy in the US Open Cup back in May. It was a disappointing match for Seattle, who only managed to grab one goal through Paul Rothrock in the 68th minute.

LA Galaxy
