Expert Betting Tips
Expect Seattle Sounders to line up with a solid defensive shape and to hit LAFC on counterattacks. Their wide players will therefore become crucial in stretching LAFC's defense and giving Jordan Morris space to drive into. LAFC will likely set the tone for the match by dominating possession and try to overload Seattle's defense through their fluid attack. Oliver Giroud pressing down the middle and Bouanga cutting in from the left will present a constant threat. This could well turn out to be a nail-biter! While LAFC's recent form and attacking firepower give them an edge, Seattle's experience in big games can never be belittled at Lumen Field. It seems LAFC might have the upper hand this time.
