LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders Betting Analysis
There were six players who missed Seattle’s match last weekend away on international duty and they have all returned to training ahead of this match with the Galaxy.
They may not all see the field this weekend though, especially as last week’s starting XI won the match 4-1.
Jordan Morris was the star of the night scoring all four goals for the Sounders and is now well ahead of the rest of the league (and ahead of 18 teams!) in the race for the Golden Boot with seven goals on the season.
Galaxy Needs to Get it Together
Meanwhile, Los Angeles is clearly missing their star up front as Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez has yet to feature for the Galaxy this season, still nursing his injury.
The Galaxy are winless and have scored a total of just two goals through their first four matches this season.
The good news is that their defense has played well enough for them to earn three draws, however, they are allowing the most shots per 90 minutes at 15.8 this season, so maybe things aren’t as good as they seem.
Seattle Sounders Strangling Competition
When looking at xG (expected goals), these teams are deserving of their places in the table.
Seattle leads the league with a +1.38 xG differential per match on the heels of the highest xG average per 90 minutes at 2.16 while allowing the 2nd fewest xGA at just 0.78 behind only the Red Bulls at 0.74.
The Galaxy are in the bottom half of the table averaging 1.20 xG while allowing 1.38.
LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders Expert Prediction
History is just one more piece of the puzzle. This series is completely one-sided as Seattle is unbeaten in the last nine meetings.
Going back even further, the Galaxy have just one win in the last 16 matches including winning just one of the last nine meetings at home.
Seattle’s red-hot form, LA’s inability to find the back of the net and the history between these teams all point one direction. Grab the head start on Seattle with confidence.
Prediction: Seattle Sounders +0.25 -115

About The Author
Nick Borrman fell in love with professional ‘football’ (as anyone outside of the United States would refer to it) the first time he attended an MLS game seven years ago.
Now, he uses statistical analysis as well as current trends to successfully find value on soccer matches across the globe.
Borrman focuses much of his attention on the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A, as well as the most prestigious tournament of them all, the Champions League.
Of course, you can’t forget the fast-growing MLS which finishes the year-round soccer schedule through the summer months in North America.
Borrman derives many of his plays from his model forecasts and releases plays several days ahead of time to consistently beat line moves.
