Seattle Sounders vs LAFC: Predictions, odds and how to watch 2021 MLS season today

The MLS 2021 has begun just a few weeks ago but Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC will meet for the second time in the tournament. That game ended in a draw, with each side scoring a goal at the Banc of California Stadium. This time, however, they'll face off at the Lumen Field. Check out the match information, storylines, predictions, odds, and how to watch the game in the US.

The hosts will try to keep with their outstanding form. If we take a look at the standings, the Sounders are the best team in Major League Soccer right now. Brian Schmetzer's boys hold the best record in the entire league and are expected to be strong candidates for the MLS Cup this year.

LAFC, who are always frontrunners in the title race too, couldn't start their campaign in the same way, though. Bob Bradley's team suffered a disappointing defeat against city rivals LA Galaxy in El Trafico derby, which is why it travels to Seattle hoping to get back on track. Will the Californian side end the Sounders' streak?

Seattle Sounders vs LAFC: Storylines and Head-to-Head

While many important teams have struggled in the first weeks, Seattle Sounders began their campaign in great fashion. They haven't lost so far and see themselves atop the Western Conference standings after beating 1-0 San Jose Earthquakes last Wednesday.

On the other hand, LAFC haven't started the new season on the right foot. The team coached by Bob Bradley only won one game out of four and will need to pick up victories soon before other teams increase the gap with them.

The upcoming match will be the 12th meeting between these two sides. LAFC have defeated Sounders five times, while Seattle claimed four wins, and they've tied in two matches.
