Prediction: 2-1
Seattle Sounders
There will be fireworks when Los Angeles FC and Seattle square off against each other at BMO Field in the MLS playoffs quarter-finals. Los Angeles FC set up a meeting with Seattle by beating Vancouver Whitecaps in the double-header, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Sunday’s showdown. Italian defender Lorenzo Dellavalle remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Seattle Sounders, on the other hand, defeated Houston Dynamo on penalties to book their spot in the quarter-finals. Los Angeles, though, are a more experienced side than Seattle Sounders and we predict that the hosts are going to prove their worth on the field. Both Nouhou and Paul Rothrock are out of contention for the away team. You should bear in mind that Los Angeles FC have defeated Seattle Sounders in each of their last four meetings in the Major League Soccer.
