The hosts are favourites coming into this one.

LA Galaxy have called themselves the MLS Cup champions on more occasions than any other club and they are on the verge of making it to another final. They will host Seattle Sounders FC in the Conference finals and the winner will clinch a place in the final of the 2024 MLS Cup. Galaxy have been in great goal-scoring form in the ongoing playoffs as they have scored 15 goals in just three matches. They are looking unstoppable and head coach Greg Vanney deserves huge credit for that.

Seattle Sounders FC on the other hand are coming into this clash after getting the better of Houston Dynamo in the ‘Best of Three’ series and LAFC in the conference semi-finals. The Rave Green have exceeded all expectations this season. However, they will now face their biggest challenge in LA Galaxy. Seattle Sounders are coming into this encounter as underdogs but they have shown on numerous occasions how fatal underestimating them can be.

Players to watch out for:

His passing range is impressive and the Spaniard has added goals to his game ever since joining LA Galaxy as well. He has contributed to 28 goals directly in 32 appearances this season.

Stefan Frei (Seattle Sounders)

The American is a major reason behind Seattle Sounders’s triumphant victory over LAFC in the MLS Conference Semi-finals. He made nine incredible saves in that game and kept the Rave green alive. He was crowned the ‘Man of the Match’ because of his performance and something similar is expected from him against LA Galaxy.
