Why you should back LAFC
LAFC has gone unbeaten against Seattle at home since suffering a 3-1 loss in the MLS Cup Western Conference final in 2019, posting three wins and a draw in four meetings. Los Angeles recorded a 2-1 victory on their own pitch last year, with Kwadwo Opoku knotting the contest in the 35th minute and fellow forward Carlos Vela giving the team the lead for good eight minutes later. The 34-year-old Vela is second on LAFC this season with five goals, including the winner against Sporting KC last weekend.
Vela also has been a strong set-up man as he leads Los Angeles with five assists this season and has amassed 51 in 134 career matches with the club. LAFC also received a goal from defender Denil Maldonado in that contest after being shutout over their previous three contests. It was the first career MLS goal for the 25-year-old, who joined Los Angeles on loan from FC Motagua in his native Honduras in December. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back the Seattle Sounders
The Sounders also were struggling offensively, going two games without a goal before erupting for three in the draw with Charlotte. Raul Ruidiaz led the way in that match, converting in the 36th and 70th minutes. The brace helped the 32-year-old Peruvian striker double his goal total for the season.
Seattle also received a goal from Cristian Roldan, who had gone seven games without scoring after converting against Colorado in the team’s season opener. The 28-year-old midfielder is halfway toward matching his goal output from last campaign. Winger Jordan Morris did not score versus Charlotte, but he’s tied for fifth in the league with nine goals and three shy of matching the career high he set while being named MLS Rookie of the Year in 2016.
