Prediction: 3-3
Seattle Sounders
Following a 2-2 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps, Los Angeles FC will look to return to winning ways in MLS when they take on Seattle Sounders on Thursday morning. The Black and Gold have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Seattle. The likes of Chanot, Dellavalle, and Holm are expected to miss out with injuries for the home side.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over St Louis City (4-1) and Houston Dynamo (3-1). With the visitors expected to adopt an attack-minded approach as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Paul Arriola and Jordan Morris are out of contention with injuries for the away team.

Born in Vyskov, Czech Republic on July 7, 1994, Slovakia international Albert Rusnak began his youth career in KAC Kosice.

Highlighted Team (Los Angeles FC):
Seeing that Los Angeles FC will be competing in Major League Soccer from the 2018 season, the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad. Several high-profile players joined the club in the winter of 2018, with Mexican ace Carlos Vela being the biggest name to sign a deal with LAFC.
The new expansion team will host their rivals at Banc of California, the stadium which is planned to be opened on April 29, 2018. The venue should hold up to 22,000 spectators.
