LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders: Predictions, odds, and how to watch 2021 MLS Week 8 today

2021 MLS returns this weekend with a can't-miss game between two strong candidates to the trophy. Los Angeles Galaxy and Seattle Sounders will meet for the second time this season looking to keep strengthening themselves in the Western Conference. Check out the match information, storylines, predictions, odds, and how to watch the game.

Greg Vanney's side seeks redemption after being beaten by this opponent earlier this season. The Galaxy have bounced back then, though, having won three of their last four MLS games. Moreover, they have won all four home matches so far.

On the other hand, Seattle got off to their best start to an MLS season in history. Brian Schmetzer's boys remain unbeaten after eight games and they seem to be unstoppable for any opponent. Still, they want to get back to winning ways after being held in the last two fixtures.

LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Los Angeles Galaxy's unbeaten run at home will be at stake against the Western Conference leaders, who were never left empty-handed this season. Vanney's side looks in much better form than when it visited Seattle a few weeks ago.

The Sounders will try to extend their undefeated run in 2021 MLS to hold onto the first seed in the standings. After putting three past the Galaxy on May 2, Schmetzer's team wants to prove its strength again to continue its path towards the title.

This will be the 34th meeting between these two sides. Los Angeles have the edge with 13 wins, while Seattle hold ten victories so far, and they've drawn in another ten MLS games. However, the Sounders have lost only once in the last 12 times they've faced each other. Will the Galaxy begin to turn things around?
