Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles

Lumen Field plays host to a handsomely-looking MLS encounter between Seattle Sounders and Western Conference leaders Los Angeles.

Seattle Sounders have got their new MLS campaign off and running following an abysmal start, racking up four victories in their last five league outings (L1). Back-to-back triumphs over Charlotte and Vancouver Whitecaps mean the ‘Sounders’ could win three consecutive MLS matches for the first time this term. But an indifferent three-game top-flight record against Los Angeles (W1, D1, L1) suggests it’s far from a foregone conclusion. That said, Brian Schemtzer’s men have won their last three MLS home fixtures by an aggregate score of 9-2, prevailing by a 2+ goal difference in two of them. Another high-scoring affair could be on the cards, as seven of Seattle’s last nine home league meetings with Los Angeles have featured 3+ goals.

In the meantime, Los Angeles have lifted their form following an underwhelming run of three MLS matches without winning (D1, L2). They head into proceedings having won their last two league games by an aggregate score of 5-2, with the winners in each coming beyond half-time. However, a lack of consistency has seen Los Angeles alternate between victories (3) and defeats (2) in their last five away league games. Since three of them saw 3+ goals and both teams scoring, the Lumen Field crowd could be in for another goal-fest. Interestingly, none of LA’s six away league matches this season have ended level (W4, L2), excluding the possibility of a first H2H away draw in six meetings (W1, L4).
