Mary C Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 POTENTIAL STARTING LINEUPS: SEATTLE SOUNDERS: GK | Stefan Frei LB | Nouhou Tolo RB | Alex Roldan CB | Yeimar Gómez Andrade CB | Xavier Arreaga MF | Obed Vargas MF | Albert Rusnák MF | Cristian Roldan MF | Nicolás Lodeiro F | Jordan Morris F | Raúl Ruidíaz LOS ANGELES FC: GK | Maxime Crépeau LB | Diego Palacios RB | Ryan Hollingshead CB | Sebastien Ibeagha CB | Jesus Murillo MF | Ilie Sanchez MF | Jose Cifuentes MF | Kellyn Acosta MF | Brian Rodríguez F | Cristian Arango F | Kwadwo Opoku Hoping to extend their three-game winning streak at home this Sunday is the Seattle Sounders who are facing off against Los Angeles FC at Lumen Field in a Western Conference match on June 19, 3 AM (PST). Currently in the MLS Western Conference, the Seattle Sounders haven’t been the most consistent and are currently holding seventh place, racking up a total of 19 points with six wins, one draw, and six losses. In their previous game against the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Sounders were able to showcase their capability as they dominated with a 4-0 final score. Despite their slow start, they have won four of their last five games, which is nothing but proof of the Sounders growing offensive talent, and hopefully, they will be able to bring the same energy back home this Sunday’s match. In terms of injuries for the Rave Green, Joao Paulo will be missing time due to an ACL tear, Yeimar Gomez Andrade with a hamstring strain, and Stefan Cleveland with a facial laceration. Looking at Los Angeles FC, the superstar team to beat, they hold the top spot at the MLS Western Conference with an exceptional season of nine wins, two draws, and three losses. Their total points earned is 29, which is 10 points above the Sounders. Their record against the Sounders stands at 13 wins, with the Rave Green only being able to scrap five victories from them. However, the Sounders' momentum with winning their last few games should not be taken lightly by LAFC, and the team should be focused on limiting big opportunities in their defense for the Sounders in the upcoming matchup. In terms of injuries for LAFC, the main goalscorer, Carlos Vela, is handling a left thigh issue. Franco Escobar has a left calf strain, and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi has left quad issues. Moreso, Diego Palacios is out due to a head injury. Julian Gaines has a sore pelvis, and Erik Duenas is nursing an injured knee. Following their victory on Wednesday, it is looking like the Seattle Sounders have the odds this match with a close score of 2-1 due to their winning streak and LAFC having a handful of their players injured and subbed out. 3:00 AM (PST), Wednesday, June 19, 2022.
