Sounders Host Galaxy With Chance to End LA’s Playoff Hopes

Seattle expect a deeper bench with Jordan Morris cleared to return.

Overview

  • The teams meet for the third time in five weeks after Seattle won 4-0 and 2-0 in Carson for a 6-0 aggregate edge.
  • Los Angeles face mathematical elimination if Seattle win, a scenario that also depends on results elsewhere.
  • Cristian Roldan is back from USMNT duty, Jordan Morris is available for selection, and Pedro de la Vega is listed as questionable with knee tendinitis.
  • The Galaxy travel short-handed with Gabriel Pec suspended and several injuries reported, and they have been giving more minutes to younger players as rotation continues.
  • Seattle are 13-1-4 at home against North American opponents this year, while the Galaxy are winless away in league play at 0-9-6.
