LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders Preview
Both teams are experiencing opposing fortunes in their starts to the new season. While the hosts are yet to taste victory and remain rooted to the 27th spot, the visitors are in fourth placed on 10 points. LA Galaxy will enter the clash on the back of three successive draws – two in away fixtures and one at home.
Galaxy are counting on their one game in hand to reduce the deficit. This will be their second home game of the season, with the first ending in a 1-1 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps. LA Galaxy played out a 3-3 stalemate against Seattle Sounders in their last league contest.
The visitors will take confidence from their last away league fixture heading into this clash. They crushed Sporting KC 4-1 at Children's Mercy Park on March 25, with Jordan Morris registering the season’s first hat trick. It was their first victory on the road this term following their previous loss to Cincinnati.
The Sounders could leap into the top three in the event of a successful trip to Los Angeles. They could also be outstripped by four other teams if they drop points. We expect an enthralling game, with LA Galaxy in search of their first win of the season and Sounders hoping to consolidate their position.
