Seattle Sounders to Win
There’s no way that Los Angeles will be able to cope with their busy schedule. Coach Steven Cherundolo’s boys had to face Alajuelense a couple of days ago in the CONCACAF Champions League game and it was a tiresome effort on their part.
Yes, they advanced to the next stage but it certainly came at a hefty price. Steven Cherundolo’s boys are tired and now they have to travel to face one of the top teams since the start of the season. With the home-field support at Lumen Field behind them, the Rave Green have the three points up for grabs on Saturday, according to this Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles prediction.
BTTS
Six of the last 10 showdowns between the two teams ended with both goals galore and it’ll be surprising if the game on Saturday is any different. As we stated previously, the visitors are tired of juggling between MLS and the CONCACAF Champions League and despite their attack always being up to par, it’s the defensive line that’ll crack. Key goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau is out with a nasty injury and that’ll only make Seattle Sounders’ odds to find the net even greater.

Seattle Sounders odds: +127 – 43.0%
Draw odds: +250 – 27.0%
Los Angeles odds: +205 – 30.0%
Despite being pegged as favorites by many, Los Angeles’ odds at +205 imply only a 30.0% shot at winning on Saturday. It’s Seattle Sounders with a massive 43.0% chance who are the favorites and the odds that currently stay at +127 are as alluring as you can possibly want them to be.
Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles Lineups & Team News
Seattle Sounders
The Rave Green are our favorite to win. How could they not be when after three matches played, coach Brian Schmetzer’s boys are in 3rd place with six points to their name? The only game they lost is the Cincinnati showdown last week but even at TQL Stadium, Seattle Sounders were the better team.
Predicted lineup – Frei (GK), Tolo, Ragen, Gomez, A. Roldan, Rusnak, Paulo, C. Roldan, Lodeiro, Morris & Montero
Los Angeles
With 10 goals in their opening three games of the 2023 season, Los Angeles are looking scary-good ahead of the Seattle Sounders showdown on Saturday. However, as we previously mentioned in our Seattle Sounders vs Los Angeles predictions, coach Steven Cherundolo’s boys are constantly traveling these days. If the manager doesn’t want to risk injuries, he’ll have to make some changes to his starting XI and that’ll undoubtedly be a huge hit to his team’s chances of winning.
Predicted lineup – McCarthy (GK), Palencia, Murillo, Long, Palacios, Acosta, Ilie, Tillman, Biuk, Opoku & Bouanga

Player to Watch: Denis Bouanga
After he was featured in the first leg of the Alajuelense CONCACAF Champions League clash, we feel that he’ll be a starter for coach Steven Cherundolo on Saturday as well. The manager would be foolish not to count on this player as Denis Bouanga did marvelously at the top of the attack. He found the net twice and his brace was the difference-maker for his team. He’ll certainly be the player to watch on Saturday.
