Player to watch: Riqui Puig
Riqui Puig is the player to watch in our key Seattle Sounders vs LA Galaxy prediction, as he was a starter for his manager in the previous Leagues Cup game. Sure, he couldn’t help his team with a goal, but his overall contribution was immense.

22-year-old shot-stopper Micovic conceded two goals in the game against Chivas Guadalajara last week. However, he still did well to make six crucial saves for his team.
