The LA Galaxy is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won all 3 matches in these playoffs as well as winning 6 of their last 7 matches going back to the regular season. Their attack has been on fire in these matches as they have scored at least 4 goals in each of their last 3 as well as at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches. They kicked Minnesota out with a 6-2 win in the last round and won the 1st round against Colorado with 5-0 and 4-1 wins. When playing at home, they have been in much better form as they have won their last 9 straight matches there. They are going up against a Seattle side that has not been in bad form recently but they have not been great either. They have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches and needed penalties in both matches of the 1st round to advance. They kicked out LAFC in the last round with a 2-1 away win, but they needed extra time to get that win as well. Seattle has been great on defense all season as they have one of the better defenses in the MLS, but the last time these two met in LA it was a 1-0 win for the Galaxy earlier this season. The Galaxy have rounded themselves into one of the better teams in the league since then and even with Seattle having one of the better defenses, their attack has struggled to score goals. The Galaxy have not been great on defense in their recent games, but their attack has been so overwhelming that this Seattle defense is going to struggle to keep them out here. The LA Galaxy will win this match at home and advance to the next round.
