The visitors are unbeaten this term and sit near the summit of the Western Conference, while their hosts are propping up the rest at rock-bottom - but neither side will expect this one to be a walk in the park.

Team news & rosters
| Position | Seattle roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Frei, Thomas, Cleveland |
| Defenders | Arreaga, Tolo, Ragen, Gomez, Hafferty, Cissoko, Medranda |
| Midfielders | Paulo, C. Roldan, Lodeiro, Rusnak, A. Roldan, Baker-Whiting, Rowe, Chu, Vargas, Leyva, Atencio, Teves |
Forwards | Ruidiaz, Montero, Morris, Adeniran, Bruin, Ocampo-Chavez |
It's been a less-than-ideal initial entry to the new campaign for Brian Schmetzer and company, with two losses in as many games leaving the usual Western Conference favourites sweating over their slow start.
Still, a Champions League quarter-final win in midweek over Leon will have boosted their morale and they'll hope to finally get off the mark at the third time of asking in their own backyard this week.
Predicted Seattle Sounders starting XI: Frei; A. Roldan, Gomez, Arreaga, Tolo; Vargas, Paulo; C. Roldan, Rusnak, Morris; Montero.
| Position | LA Galaxy roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Bond, Lopez, Klinsmann |
| Defenders | Araujo, Williams, Coulibaly, Villafana, DePuy, Ferkranus, Leerdam |
| Midfielders | Raveloson, Vazquez, Costa, Kljestan, Alvarez, Aguirre, Saldana, Perez, Harvey, Delgado |
| Forwards | Cabral, Grandsir, Chicharito, Dunbar, Edwards, Joveljic |
A bright start is just the ticket for Greg Vanney and company as Galaxy look to finally seal a return to postseason soccer this term - but there is a long way to go yet.
Two wins from two certainly helps though, and a win over one of the Western Conference's heavyweights would be a rich result for them too.
Predicted LA Galaxy starting XI: Bond; Araujo, Coulibaly, DePuy, Edwards; Costa, Raveloson, Delgado, Kljestan; Chicharito, Cabral.
