Any sense of playoff security the Seattle Sounders once had should be all but gone at this point. Since a potentially season-defining win over Atlanta United, the Sounders have gone 1-3-1, including a dispiriting 3-0 loss to Real Salt Lake on Wednesday.
The LA Galaxy haven’t exactly been playing lights out either, though, and are 2-3-0 in their last five. They are, however, coming off a solid win over FC Dallas on Wednesday.
