The overall strength difference between the two sides is not too big, however, in the last 8 meetings, L.A. Galaxy has not won a single match, which is a very abnormal phenomenon. As the two sides face each other again, L.A. Galaxy may be able to reverse the trend. For one thing, the Galaxy just crushed the Whitecaps 5-2 at home, and the players' morale is high; for another, the Galaxy's ability to share the spoils at home this season is extremely strong, with 7 wins in 13 home matches, and a +7 goal difference at home. Seattle, on the other hand, has been mediocre on the road this season, with only 3 wins in 12 away games and a total goal difference of -5.
The visitors are currently on a four-game losing streak. Despite the fact that L.A. Galaxy had the advantage in their past meetings, it's not easy for them to come back from their current poor performance on the road.
