Prediction
Los Angeles FC 3, Seattle Sounders FC 2
Moneyline (ML)
LAFC (-106) has been on fire offensively, rolling up 11 goals in three Group F matches while allowing seven. The good times should continue to roll against a Sounders side which will be missing defensemen Gomez Andrade and Roldan, and possibly Arreaga. That’s not good news against an LAFC offense which has been a well-oiled machine. LAFC fell 3-1 in the most recent head-to-head match Oct. 30, 2019, but is 3-1-1 in the previous five meetings vs. the Sounders.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 3.5 (+100) is the play in LAFC matches until further notice. As mentioned above, LAFC rolled up a league-high 11 goals in group play. LAFC has outscored Seattle 6-5 in the previous three meetings, and with the Sounders missing key members among their fullbacks and midfielders, we should see plenty more scoring chances for LAFC in this one.
