Prediction: 1-1
Seattle Sounders
Los Angeles Galaxy play host to Seattle Sounders at their Dignity Health Sports Park in a highly-anticipated MLS game. LA Galaxy are still without key attacker Javier Hernandez Chicharito, who was sorely missed in a goalless draw with Portland Timbers. Since Greg Vanney’s troops have been struggling in front of goal of late, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. All Jonathan Bond, Chase Gasper, and Douglas Costa miss out with injuries as well.
The Sounders, meanwhile aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Sporting Kansas City. Under 2.5 goals, though, have been netted in three of Seattle’s last four league fixtures, and, taking everything into account, a low-scoring affair is on the horizon. Experienced forward Heber has yet to overcome a hamstring problem, but he is the only absentee in the away team ahead of the trip to Los Angeles.
Highlighted Player (Jorge Villafaña):
Jorge Villafana is an American footballer who began his senior career at Chivas USA. Villafana was born in Anaheim, California on September 16, 1989 and he played for the likes of Santa Ana DSP Juventus and Chivas USA during his youth career.
Nowadays, the American footballer plays for Portland Timbers, but it has to be noted that he made no more than eight appearances for the club in the 2018 season. In 2015, though, Jorge Villafana did well to win the MLS Cup in 2015 and three years later he clinched the Liga MX trophy (Clausura) with Santos Laguna.
Speaking of his international career, the Portland Timbers man made his full USA debut in a friendly against Serbia on January 29, 2017. Over the years Villafana has established himself as a first-choice left-back in the national team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. The USA international has a dual citizenship (USA, Mexico).
Highlighted Team (Seattle Sounders):
Seattle Sounders are an American soccer club that compete in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. The Sounders are owned by the likes of Joe Roth, Paul Allen, Drew Carey and Adrian Hanauer and they play their home games at CenturyLink Field.
The club won the 2016 MLS Cup, with the team beating Toronto FC on penalties in the trophy game at BMO Field. Swiss goalkeeper Stefan Frei won the MVP honor after pulling off several brilliant saves in the 2016 MLS Cup final.
Winning of the MLS Cup is undisputedly the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that the Sounders clinched the Supporters’ Shield trophy in 2014. Seattle hold rivalry with Portland Timbers, but Vancouver Whitecaps are regarded as the club’s bitter rivals as well.
Experienced attacker Clint Dempsey is undisputedly the club’s most significant star and he has been playing for the CenturyLink Field outfit since 2014. He scored eight goals in the league in the 2016 season and, no doubt, he helped the Sounders win their first ever MLS Cup.
