Seattle Sounders v Los Angeles FC: Preview and prediction

Seattle Sounders face Los Angeles FC on Saturday in what Brian Schmetzer has described as a game between two of the biggest clubs in MLS.

Reigning MLS Cup champions LAFC head to Lumen Field with two wins under their belt from their two games this season – they are second in the Western Conference, one place ahead of Seattle, who are also on six points but lost at FC Cincinnati last time out.

LAFC were beaten by Alajuelense in the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday but have still progressed in that competition thanks to a 3-0 win in the first leg.

And Schmetzer knows the Sounders will have to be at their best to end LAFC s winning start to the MLS season.

This feels like a game between two of the biggest clubs in the league, said Schmetzer.
