Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles FC Predictions and Betting Tips
The CenturyLink Field is the stage for Monday's second clash as Seattle Sounders tackle Los Angeles FC. While the home team are bidding to cement themselves a place in the Championship playoffs spot, the away side are bidding to move closer to playoffs position. All in all, we expect an exciting encounter.
Seattle Sounders have really silenced doubters since the league restart winning their first and only game since then. Heading into this game, however, they would be looking to preserve their unbeaten home record this season as the side have won and drawn two each in the four home games played so far.
They knocked off MLS is back Champions in their previous game four days ago. With three goals in the final eighteen minutes of the game, the Seattle based side shot themselves up to the playoff spot. Ruidiaz produced a man of the match performance with a brace while Leerdam added a third later on.
In terms of goals scored, only Sporting Kansas City have more compared to Los Angeles FC. This is attributed to an attacking trio comprising of the 2019 MVP Carlos Vela and his two other strike partners Rossi and Brian. Their attack hasn't matched their defence, however, with the side shipping 12 goals in only 6 games.
Their disastrous defence was evident in their last game as they lost 2-0 to their local rivals LA Galaxy. A goal in either half was all they needed to secure all the spoils.
Los Angeles are heading into this game without their star player Carlos Vela who is battling with a knee problem.
Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles FC Prediction: 2-2
Looking at the head-to-head record, no particular side has managed to establish dominance over the other. Given this, we do not see a clear winner heading into this game. However, we expect both teams to score just like they have done in their last four meetings.
