LA Galaxy are second in the Western Conference

Seattle Sounders have endured a tough start to the MLS season collecting 9 points from the opening 10 matches. The team performed impressively in the last match to secure a much-needed 2-3 win. The Sounders scored three goals in the first half but conceded two goals in the opening minutes of the second half to finish the match on nerves. The team will aim to win this match to extend their winning streak.

LA Galaxy have started the season strongly, occupying second spot in the league. They are tied with table-toppers Salt Lake, who have secured 18 points so far. In the last match, LA Galaxy lost to Austin FC, ending their two-match unbeaten streak. Although they have scored the most goals in the league, their defence needs to tighten up. They have conceded 17 goals this season.

Player to Watch

Raul Ruidiaz (Seattle Sounders)

Seattle Sounders’ Raul Ruidiaz has scored six goals in ten matches this season so far. With a brace against Philadelphia in the last match, the Peruvian seems unstoppable at the moment. Despite the opposition’s defensive defenders’ best efforts, he is a menace inside the box with his movements and clinical finish.

Joseph Paintsil (LA Galaxy)

Joseph Paintsil has scored four goals and assisted four others in eight matches this season. As a left winger this season, he has consistently challenged defenders using his pace and trickery to create opportunities for the team and himself. His role in this match is to lead the team to victory.
