Los Angeles FC vs Seattle Sounders Match Preview

Los Angeles FC is ranked at the 1st place in the Western conference with 45 goals and comes in a very good form after four wins and a single loss over the last five matches. It has been quite a good campaign for them until now and with the adding of players like Bale and Chiellini they are the most serious contender for the title. The main goal for the moment is to keep the first spot in order to qualify directly for the play off quarterfinals.

With 42 goals scored so far they have the second best attack in the Conference and in the last five games scored a total of 10 goals averaging two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in four occasions. Arango has been leading their attack with 9 goals - 3 assists followed by Vela 6 goals - 8 assists.

Seattle Sounders, on the other hand, is ranked at the 9th place with 29 points and comes after two wins and three losses over the last five matches. Their inconsistent form has made it hard for them to remain inside the play off zone but after the most recent win they must avoid another loss. In case of a positive result now they could climb up to the 7th place.

With 28 goals scored so far they have shown a decent offensive side but in the last five matches they scored only four goals which means less than a goal per game. Hopefully now Morris who has 6 goals - 2 assists will start scoring with more consistency and help the team. Right after him comes Ruidiaz with 5 goals - 1 assist and a lot more is expected from him too considering in the last season he scored 17 goals.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. I expect to see both teams playing offensive football and should have plenty of chances to score. Los Angeles FC at home scored two or more goals in four of the last five duels. Seattle Sounders has got to try and aim for a win here if they want to improve their position so they should score a goal as minimum.
