Los Angeles Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer
by Simon Day | in Major League Soccer Picks
The MLS Western Conference final is an intriguing matchup between two teams with vastly contrasting styles of play. The Seattle Sounders' success has been built around an imperious defence that shipped just 35 goals in 34 regular season games. They have continued in a similar vein during the Playoffs, conceding just twice during their three games. However, that defensive strength will be put to the test against an LA Galaxy side that has scored an incredible 15 goals in 3 games so far in the postseason. The Galaxy were also the top scorers in the Western Conference regular season, and with the likes of Riqui Puig and Gabriel Pec in fantastic goalscoring form, Seattle will need to produce another exceptional rearguard display to keep them at bay.Limited Offer.

Los Angeles Galaxy - Seattle Sounders: Form Analysis
The Galaxy have been in magnificent form over the last couple of months. They finished the regular season with seven wins from their final 10 games, and have won their three Playoff games by a combined score of 15 goals to three. The Sounders also found their best form at the end of the regular season, winning four and drawing two of their final six games. In contrast to LA, Seattle's three postseason games have all been low scoring affairs. Two shootout victories over the Dynamos, following 1-1 and 0-0 draws, were followed by a tense 2-1 extra time victory over Los Angeles FC.
The recent head to head record between the two teams is extremely even. There have been two wins apiece, plus two draws in the last six encounters between the teams. Overall, the Sounders lead the head to head by 19 wins to 17.

Los Angeles Galaxy & Seattle Sounders Squad Analysis
LA's star man this season has been midfielder Riqui Puig. The Spanish playmaker has 17 total goals for the campaign, plus 16 assists. Strikers Gabriel Pec (19 goals), Dejan Joveljić (19 goals) and Joseph Paintsil (13 goals) have all been scoring regularly in the second half of the season, whilst 2023 MLS Cup MVP John McCarthy is enjoying another fine season in the Galaxy goal.
Seattle possesses arguably the best centre back duo in the MLS in the form of Yeimar Gómez and Jackson Ragen. Unfortunately for the Sounders, Gomez is an injury doubt for the final after leaving the field with an injury during the victory over LA. At the other end of the pitch, Seattle will look to Jordan Morris to provide the firepower. The striker scored the winner in the semi final and now has 14 goals to his name this season.

Our Los Angeles Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
Seattle will be tough to break down, but we think LA have the firepower to get the job done. A key reason for that is the peerless form of Riqui Puig who has been providing goals and assists for the Galaxy throughout the campaign. He's taken his game to another level so far during the postseason, and we are tipping the Spanish sensation to find the net once again as he helps the Galaxy secure their place in the MLS Cup final. Our prediction for LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders is: LA Galaxy to win and Riqui Puig to score, +450 at DraftKings.
