In the marquee match of the weekend in Major League Soccer, the Seattle Sounders host Los Angeles FC on Saturday in a game between two of the best teams in the Western Conference.
The home side has had a slow start to the campaign due to the focus given to winning the CONCACAF Champions League. However, manager Brian Schmetzer’s team has won four out of its last five outings to climb back into a playoff position.
Meanwhile, LAFC holds the top spot in all of MLS with 29 points on a league-leading nine victories this season.
