Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles FC tips and predictions

Odds stand out for Seattle Sounders on own turf

On 13 MLS points, first placed Seattle Sounders host 11th placed Los Angeles FC. The visitors will be looking to close the gap. Will they be adding to their 5 points?

Other articles are saying that this isn't an easy match to predict. With the prices on offer a home win seems like a smart play.

Seattle Sounders have shown a clean pair of heals to plenty of their opponents in matches leading up to this clash. The hosts have logged 10 home wins from their last 11 games. By contrast, the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 9 of their recent 12 matches on the road.

The home players are finding some form on their own paddock. The Sounders scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 11 home matches while they've refused to capitulate. They've conceded only 2 goals in their last 5 games. So there's definitely some evidence in the stats that points to the home side getting the job done.

Away from home Los Angeles FC have actually conceded one or more times in all of their last 18 matches. If this is a legitimate weakness, it might be the difference between winning and losing.

The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they can both be efficient in front of goal. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value.
