LAFC vs Seattle Sounders Preview & Picks


LAFC were outstanding across the regular season, winning 19 of their 34 matches and finishing at the summit of the Western Conference. 

The Seattle Sounders enjoyed a strong season, finishing just seven points behind LAFC at the summit. 

  • LAFC won 19 of their 34 regular season matches 
  • The Sounders have lost their last six against LAFC 
  • One side has failed to scored in the last three meetings between the pair 

Head-To-Head


LAFC have won their last six matches against the Seattle Sounders in an impressive run of form. 

LAFC Form 


LAFC were taken to the wire by Vancouver in the last round as the former were shown they will not have everything their own way as they edge towards potential silverware.

A 2-1 win at home over the Whitecaps was followed by a damning 3-0 defeat on the road. Needing a win, LAFC squeezed past their opponents in a 1-0 win to move into the Conference semi-finals. While it was hardly convincing, securing victory was all that mattered, with the LAFC bandwagon trundling on. 

LAFC have won their last six against the Sounders, while they are unbeaten in their last 10 against their opponents. While past form will not carry the home side through, they will know they have the psychological edge in this match. 

Seattle Sounders Form


The Seattle Sounders only needed two matches to eliminate the Houston Dynamo in the last round, winning 1-0 at home before securing a 2-1 win on the road. 

While the Sounders have had an extra week off to prepare, the fact they have not played since November 4 may come back to bite them. Indeed, Seattle need everything to go their way if they are to end their disappointing run against LAFC. 

While this may be a nervy clash between the pair, I am backing LAFC to secure a clean sheet for the fourth time against the Sounders. 

Verdict

I am backing LAFC to win this one to nil as they move into the Conference Finals.
