MLS: LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Picks —Sounders to Maintain High-Quality Form? (Aug 10)

Two sides that will be preparing for the next round of the Leagues Cup will turn their attentions back to the MLS this weekend, as the Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy collide.

The Sounders were the standout team in the League Phase of the inter-confederation competition, winning all three of their matches and conceding just two goals.

It could be argued that the Galaxy were the surprise package in the Leagues Cup after progressing through to the next round despite a poor campaign in the MLS.
