LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders Preview & Picks
LA Galaxy hammered Minnesota United in a stunning 6-2 win in their last match to move into the Conference Finals.
The Seattle Sounders eased past LAFC in a battling 2-1 win that saw them need extra-time to secure victory.
- Galaxy have won their last two home matches against the Sounders
- Galaxy have won their last three games
- The pair both scored when they met in the Leagues Cup back in August
Head-To-Head
Galaxy have won two of their last 10 against the Sounders, with the latter winning four times and the other four ending as draws.
LA Galaxy Form
LA Galaxy have been hugely impressive of late, hammering the Colorado Rapids (5-0 and 4-1) and Minnesota United (6-2) to move into the Conference Finals.
Their exploits across the season have been hugely impressive, with the side winning 19 of their 34 regular season match and scoring a Western Conference high of 69 goals. The major worry for Galaxy will be their leaky defence, which conceded 50 times, the most of any side in the top six in the Conference.
While we do not expect Galaxy to keep a clean sheet in this one, they should prove too strong for the Sounders as their all-action attack carries them into the MLS Cup.
Seattle Sounders Form
The Seattle Sounders finished the regular season in fourth with 57 points after clinching 16 wins from their 34 matches.
The Sounders finished just seven points behind their next opponents, and they have looked good of late, going unbeaten in their last 10 in all competitions. This run has seen Seattle move to within a single win of an appearance in the MLS Cup.
While we have been impressed by the Sounders, we are backing their run to be brought to an end by a Galaxy side that are hammering teams right now.
