Betting on Seattle Sounders FC
Brian Schmetzer and company started this MLS season with two wins in a row and no goals conceded. However, in their last match, they suffered a hard blow when they lost by the minimum to FC Cincinnati. In any case, they sit atop the Western Conference along with Saturday’s opponent and St. Louis City.
The Sounders stand out in the league for their offensive style of play. Its most threatening player is Jordan Morris. The striker, with three goals, is the top scorer in the competition. He is closely followed by Denis Bouanga, LAFC’s Gabonese striker, who has two goals.
In Seattle, the strength of the home team stands out. If we take into account the local tournament, they have not lost in that condition since August 15, 2022! It was in the 1-2 win over Real Salt Lake.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Stefan Frei; Alex Roldan, Yeimar Gomez, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo; Albert Rusnak, Joao Paulo; Christian Roldan, Nicolas Lodeiro, Jordan Morris; Heber.
Betting on Los Angeles FC
Steve Cherundolo’s team started off this MLS season on the right foot. This is evidenced by their two victories in as many presentations so far in the competition. They are coming off a 3-2 win in their debut against the Portland Timbers and the subsequent 4-0 drubbing against the New England Revolution. Plus, they have a record of seven goals in just 180 minutes of soccer, a statistic that invites to bet on an Over (2.5) in this Seattle Sounders vs LAFC.
Both games took place in California, so this will be LAFC’s first game without its home crowd. However, their away record is also encouraging: they have three undefeated games to their name and are coming off a 3-0 win over Alajuelense.
Well, that’s not a minor fact. The visitors have not lost since October 9, 2022, in a 0-1 defeat against Nasville SC. Will they be able to keep the positive streak going?
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Ryan Hollingshead, Jesús Murillo, Giorgio Chiellini, Diego Palacios; José Cifuentes, Ilie Sánchez, Kellyn Acosta; Kwadwo Opoku, Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga.
JefeBet Prediction
The background is more than attractive to public. If we take into account recent history, in 87% of the direct confrontations, at least two goals were scored. And in 60% of them, the Over (2.5) was covered. In addition, the Los Angeles team was only able to keep a clean sheet in 20% of its games.
For this reason, at JefeBet we predict that Seattle Sounders vs LAFC will give us a match full of emotions with a victory for the visitors.
Prediction: LAFC Moneyline and Over (SEA 1-3 LAFC)
