PREVIOUS MEETING: The Sounders defeated Los Angeles 5-2 at Lumen Field on March 8, 2025 in the teams' first meeting of the season.

Nathan Ordaz and David Martínez collected goals for the visitors.
ROAD TESTS: For the second time in the early part of the season, the Sounders are in the midst of a three-match road trip, this one coming in eight days. Seattle won convincingly in Houston last weekend and visit LAFC on Wednesday before a road date with the rival Portland Timbers this Saturday.
MOOSE IN THE RECORD BOOKS: Sounders forward Danny Musovski has scored in five consecutive matches, tying club legends Raúl Ruidíaz, Fredy Montero and Obafemi Martins as the only Sounders to achieve that feat.

STRONG UNDERLYING NUMBERS: Seattle has an Expected Goal Difference of 7.15, according to American Soccer Analysis. That mark is fourth-best in MLS and only trails the Supporters’ Shield-leading Vancouver Whitecaps in the West.
UNBEATEN STREAKS: Both the Sounders and LAFC enter on five-match unbeaten runs, with Seattle winning four to LAFC’s two.
CHERUNDOLO EXITING: LAFC announced last month that current Head Coach Steve Cherundolo will depart the club at the end of the 2025 season. The former longtime United States international has been at the helm of LAFC since 2022.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Denis Bouanga, F
After a slow start to the season for one of the most electric players in MLS, Bouanga has a team-high five goals, all of which have come in the last five matches.
