Los Angeles FC is back to dominating the league. Now coached by legendary men’s national team player Steve Cherundolo, the club is off to a greater than two points a game start, and now has a defense. One of four sides with double-digit goal differential so far in 2022, LAFC is coming to Seattle trying to stave off a team that could challenge them for the Western Conference title, if the Sounders can play as well as they have since winning the Concacaf Champions League.
Seattle Sounders are without Raúl Ruidíaz, who will miss at least the next two games.
