The Matchday 15 of the MLS begins with the leader, Los Angeles FC, exposing their leadership against a Seattle Sounders that is on the rise and wants to take advantage of the locality to get closer to the top of the table.
The Californian team is motivated, not only by their place at the tournament but also by their new signing: Giorgio Chiellini. The 37-year-old center-half arrives after his time at Juventus to bring all his experience. The Italian will be able to play starting July after the transfer window opens, but the fans are already very excited.
On the local side, a few days ago they crushed the Vancouver Whitecaps (4-0) and they come with the momentum ready to knock down the leader and continue climbing in the standings.
The game between Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC will be played this Saturday, June 18 2022 at Lumen Field.

Why Bet on Seattle Sounders
Seattle Sounders are the locals and they have 4 wins in their last 5 games, scoring 10 goals and conceding 3. They also have an inspired Raúl Ruidíaz, scoring 7 goals in his last 6 matches. In addition, at Lumen Field they have 3 wins in the same number of games.
Those led by Brian Schmetzer had a bad start of the season, but shortly after their Concachampions title they began to improve and are already seventh in the Western Conference, momentarily qualifying for the playoffs. They have 19 points out of a possible 39, with a +3 goal difference.
Why Bet on Los Angeles FC
After their loss in the round of 16 of the US Open Cup against their classic rival, Los Angeles Galaxy, the Californian team beat San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 to continue watching their rivals from the top of the table.
Steven Cherundolo will wait until the last minute for Carlos Vela, who was injured against Galaxy and did not play last time. The Mexican captain is the team’s top scorer in the tournament with 6 goals. There are many rumors about the striker since he has not signed his renewal with the club and his contract expires at the end of June. Apparently, several teams in Mexico would be looking for him and the former Arsenal player would be contemplating it.
LAFC has 9 victories, 2 ties, and 3 losses in 14 games, scoring 29 times and receiving 16 goals in the MLS.
Final Betting Analysis: Seattle Sounders vs. Los Angeles FC
It is the game that opens the curtain on Matchday 15 of the MLS and that has the leader of the tournament, which is why it is one of the favorites of the weekend, and we think that the victory will be for Los Angeles FC.
In MyBookie.ag, even though we found that Seattle Sounders is the favorite for this match, as the Moneyline for them shows +126, we go with Los Angeles FC (+195) because the games that the local has won in their last matches are with teams in the low part of the table.
It will probably be a game with many goals since in 7 of their last 9 commitments they have scored more than 2.5. Precisely the last one, in October of last year, was 3-0 in favor of the Californians, although the last one in Seattle was for the locals by 2-0.
Go for a straight win in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on an LAFC win at +195, you will gain $95 for a total payout of $195
