📋 Team News: Los Angeles FC

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Los Angeles FC gaffer Steve Cherundolo to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group of players. Lorenzo Dellavalle (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.

It looks as if Los Angeles FC will possibly kick off with a 4-3-3 formation this time and select Hugo Lloris, Sergi Palencia, Aaron Long, Eddie Segura, Ryan Hollingshead, Timothy Tillman, Igor Jesus, Marco Delgado, David Martínez, Nathan Ordaz and Denis Bouanga.

📰 Team News: Seattle Sounders FC

Owing to an otherwise available squad, there is just the lone fitness issue for the Seattle Sounders FC boss Brian Schmetzer to be concerned about. Paul Arriola (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

We’re of the thinking that The Sounders might play in a 4-4-2 system with a starting lineup of Stefan Frei, Alex Roldan, Yeimar Gomez, Kee-Hee Kim, Nouhou Tolo, Paul Rothrock, Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Ryan Kent, Danny Musovski and Albert Rusnák.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Seattle Sounders FC should be able to breach the defence of this Los Angeles FC side, but it possibly won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

We can see a 2-1 winning margin for Los Angeles FC when the full-time whistle blows. There looks to be little in this one.
