Los Angeles vs Seattle Sounders Prediction and Betting Tips | May 14th 2025
Los Angeles will host Seattle Sounders at the Banc of California Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have had mixed results in recent games and could now sit sixth in the Western Conference with 18 points from 12 matches.
They played out a 2-2 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps last time out, taking a two-goal lead in the opening 20 minutes via efforts from Marky Delgado and Denis Bouanga before their opponents came from behind to level things up in the second half.
Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, endured a slow start to their league season but have found good form in recent outings and have rapidly climbed up the table. They beat 10-man Houston Dynamo 3-1 last time out with Daniel Musovski opening the scoring midway through the first half before Albert Rusnak netted a brace in the second to seal the points for the Sounders.
The visitors sit a place and a point above their midweek opponents in the West and will be keen to widen that gap on Wednesday.
