LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders

LA Galaxy are still looking to climb off the foot of the Western Conference table as they host Seattle Sounders in an MLS fixture.

The visitors are challenging further up the table and look sharp at the moment, while their hosts are also doing some good work in front of their fans. Both teams have shown some attacking quality lately and could be set to serve up a thrilling contest.

LA Galaxy News

LA Galaxy have been involved in the Leagues Cup in the last few weeks, picking up two wins from three matches and scoring first in two of those games. They will head into this clash off the back of a 4-0 home victory over Santos Laguna in their previous fixture.

The task for LA Galaxy will be to channel those performances into the MLS as they remain rooted to the foot of the table and played out a 3-3 draw at Los Angeles last time out. The good news is that they have shown some good form in front of their fans lately, winning five of their last six matches across all competitions.

LA Galaxy's open style of play has seen them score in nine of their last 10 matches while also conceding in eight of those fixtures. Eight of the last 10 matches for Greg Vanney's team have produced over 2.5 goals.

Seattle Sounders News

Seattle Sounders are also coming off a fine showing in the Leagues Cup, winning all three of their matches. Brian Schmetzer's team picked up a 2-1 victory over Club Tijuana last time out.

The Leagues Cup showings are part of a solid run of form for Seattle Sounders, who are unbeaten in their last six MLS matches. They are also unbeaten in three of their last four away matches in the league, playing out a 2-2 draw at Atlanta United in their previous fixture.

Seattle Sounders often look sharp going forward and have scored in their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet seven times on this run, while seven of those fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Seattle Sounders have five wins while LA Galaxy have been victorious three times, with four draws in the last 12 matches. However, the hosts claimed a 1-0 home victory in the last meeting between both sides back in December.

Verdict

LA Galaxy v Seattle Sounders

LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders often adopt an open style of play, and with neither defence looking solid at the moment, both teams could be backed to score. Six of the last nine meetings have produced over 2.5 goals, which is likely to be the outcome in this clash.

The hosts have opened the scoring in three of the last five matches against Seattle Sounders and could be set to grab the first goal once again.
