The last five meetings between the two sides have been fairly even. LAFC hold the slight advantage with two wins to Seattle’s one, with both sides splitting points twice. The most recent match ended in a 0-0 draw earlier this season. The biggest obstacle Los Angeles will have to face this evening, will be managing a short-handed lineup with many players away on International Duty. Even with the expectation of having the youngsters getting some more playing time, this is a team that will be aiming for the three points, especially at home.
