Seattle Sounders at Los Angeles FC Prediction 27-Sep (MLS Betting)
Seattle Sounders at Los Angeles FC might not be the biggest rivalry in the MLS, but this time, the clash between the two is very important.
Seattle Sounders are at the very peak of the table of the MLS Western Conference. With only a couple of rounds left before the end of the regular season, the chances are that they’ll probably stay there. Even if they don’t finish at the very top, they will surely get to play in the 2020 MLS Playoffs. The same cannot be said for their next opponent LAFC, a team that’s trying to get among the top seven.
Winning the Seattle Sounders at Los Angeles FC game would be a fantastic thing for the visiting side, but their form isn’t giving their fans a lot of confidence. The good news is that the LAFC definitely has some super-talented players in the roster.
Seattle Sounders Aiming for the Top
Seattle Sounders have been brilliant this season, both upfront and at the back. Their defense looks strong and better than what any other team from the Western Conference has to offer. In fact, in the entire MLS, Columbus Crew and New York City are the only teams that have conceded fewer goals at the moment of writing.
Still, despite being fantastic at the back, this team’s main weapon has been their offense. Right now, they’re the top-scoring team in the MLS, with their forward Raul Ruidiaz being the league’s top-scorer. He’s not the only forward who’s been in a goal-scoring mood this season. The same goes for Jordan Morris, who’s their second-best scorer in 2020 MLS.
Los Angeles FC Hoping to Get to the Playoffs
They do have a decent chance to qualify for the postseason, but for that to happen, they need to do better in the upcoming few rounds. Luckily for them, they do have some terrific players in the team, starting with Diego Rossi, who’s their top scorer.
Unfortunately, Carlos Vela is out with an injury, which is probably the reason why they haven’t been performing too well this season. Nevertheless, a team is more than just one player and other players have the obligation to step up.
