Seattle Sounders vs LAFC Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024

The home team have won their last six matches.

Seattle Sounders have probably surprised everyone with their performances in the last couple of matches. After starting the season poorly, they have made an excellent shift by winning their last six matches. This upturn of form has brought them back to the sixth position in the MLS Western Conference table.

The last six games have seen them score 12 goals and concede just four in their resurgence of form. Brian Schmetzer has worked his magic with the squad after getting the most out of them. 

LAFC have performed consistently this season despite failing to win in their last two matches. They were hammered by Columbus Crew, who put five goals past them, to suffer their biggest loss this season. Nevertheless, they have the quality in their squad to give a fitting response in upcoming matches.

In the last match, they played a 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake. Despite taking the early lead they failed to take their chances. A win in this match will help them stay on the heels of LA Galaxy, who are at the top of MLS Western Conference table.

Players to Watch

Jordan Morris (Seattle Sounders) 

Jordan Morris is one of the prime reasons why the Seattle Sounders are flying in the division. The USA international is in red-hot form at the moment after five goals in the last six matches. His hold-up play coupled with his clinical finishing makes him a deadly weapon.

Overall, this season he has made 24 appearances for the team, scoring nine and assisting once. Morris will be aiming to return to scoring ways after drawing a blank in the last match. 

Denis Bouanga (LAFC)

The Gabon international is leading the scoring charts for LAFC. Denis Bouanga has already scored 14 goals for the team in 23 matches, while also providing another eight assists.

His link-up play with fellow attackers Mateusz Bogusz and Cristian Olivera has been excellent to watch. He will be aiming to get back to scoring ways after failing to net in the last four matches.
