Prediction: 1-0
Los Angeles Galaxy
Seattle Sounders will be aiming to build on a 3-2 win over Philadelphia Union when they take on Los Angeles Galaxy at Lumen Field. Seattle did well to put an end to their three-game winless run at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s clash as well. Ecuador defender Xavier Arreaga is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, while both Stefan Frei and Alex Roldan are banned for the match.
LA Galaxy, on the other hand, produced an under-par display in a 2-0 loss to Austin FC, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. Midfielder Riqui Puig is banned for the visiting side, while forward Dejan Joveljic continue to miss out with a thigh injury. Last time out Seattle Sounders defeated Los Angeles Galaxy 2-1 at Lumen Field.
Highlighted Player (Albert Rusnak):
Born in Vyskov, Czech Republic on July 7, 1994, Slovakia international Albert Rusnak began his youth career in KAC Kosice. In 1997 he moved to MFK Kosice where he was talent-spotted by Manchester City scouts. However, he did not see any game action for the Citizens in the Premier League as he was immediately loaned to Oldham City.
After making only two appearances for the Latics, the Slovak moved to Birmingham City in 2014. After ending his loan spell with Cambuur, Albert Rusnak moved to FC Groningen in 2015 and it has to be noted that he scored nine goals in 61 appearances for the Dutch club in the Eredivisie.
In the winter of 2017 Rusnak joined MLS club Real Salt Lake for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, Albert Rusnak made his debut with the Slovakia national team on November 15, 2016 in a goalless draw with Austria. His father, also called Albert Rusnak, used to play football as well.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):
Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
