The two best teams in the Western Conference meet tonight when LAFC host the Seattle Sounders at Banc of California Stadium. This will be the third meeting between these two team this season and the first-ever playoff meeting.
The Sounders have struggled against LAFC, going 0-3-1 in four regular-season meetings. They finally scored their first-ever goal against LAFC the last time these two met on April 21 when LA defeated Seattle 4-1. A week later, the two teams played to a 1-1 tie that saw the Sounders play down a man for 72 minutes and finish out the match with just nine players on the field.
