Prediction: 2-2
Los Angeles FC
Lumen Field will host Saturday’s MLS game between Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC. Seattle aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Cincinnati, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Carlos Vela and Co. Raul Ruidiaz is pushing for a start, while midfielder Obed Vargas remains on the sidelines with injury.
Steve Cherundolo’s troops, on the other hand, impressed in a 4-0 win over New England Revolution, and seeing that they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals. Defender Ryan Hollingshead has yet to recover from an abdominal problem, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Los Angeles FC defeated Seattle Sounders 2-1, which is yet another reason why this betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Nicolas Lodeiro):
Nicolas Lodeiro is an experienced midfielder, who played for Barrio Obrero and Nacional during his youth career. In 2007 he tasted senior-team football for the first time ever and it has to be noted that he scored nine goals in 43 appearances in the league for Nacional.

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. Los Angeles FC will be coached by Bob Bradley in the 2018 MLS campaign and they will be wearing black and gold kits in the USA professional soccer league. Speaking of their bitterest rivals, there will be fireworks when Los Angeles FC face LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer.
District 9 Ultras and Black Army 1850 are considered the club's biggest supporters groups and it has to be noted that they used to support Chivas USA. Los Angeles FC were founded on October 30, 2014.
