LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders Analysis
Before making LA Galaxy v. Seattle Sounders best bets, let’s look at their top players and setup for Wednesday night. The Sounders didn’t have to use most of their regulars to beat the Loyal last month, but that won’t be the case on Wednesday.
When they beat the Galaxy in April, they did so with goals from Jordan Morris and Leo Chu. Morris is among the top scorers in MLS on the season with eight goals but he hasn’t scored in the last five MLS games.
The Galaxy goal against Seattle came from Jalen Neal, a starting center back. Los Angeles has only scored eight goals this season in MLS play and no one has scored more than one goal. Chicharito has one goal and one assist but hasn’t scored in his last two games.
The LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders best bets will also be impacted by lineups. If you are going to bet on US Soccer, make sure you seed the starting lineups before taking either Morris or Chicharito as an any time goal scorer.
Odds Breakdown for both*
Pick 1: Seattle money line +175. The Sounders won in Los Angeles last month and they are just the better team. The Galaxy can’t score and they have allowed at least two goals in five of their last six games.
Pick 2. Over 2.5. Given that lack of defense by the Galaxy and the high-powered Sounders squad. there should be goals on Wednesday night. Look for a 3-1 Sounders win as they look to get past the embarrassment of losing to Sporting KC at home on Sunday.
