Recent encounters have favored Seattle decisively, including a 4-0 and 2-0 win over LA Galaxy earlier in the season and in Leagues Cup play.
Key Factors to Consider
- Seattle Sounders FC demonstrates a high level of home dominance and overall better form, while LA Galaxy is enduring a poor away run and sits near the MLS basement with only 20 points. Seattle has won recent encounters convincingly.

- No explicit injury updates were provided in the available data; however, tactical adjustments and player fitness are under consideration as LA Galaxy faces travel and fatigue issues.
- LA Galaxy must travel cross-country to Seattle after a recent road trip to Miami and Leagues Cup matches, potentially impacting their preparation and energy levels. Meanwhile, Seattle has home advantage and crowd support.
