With five consecutive wins and eight games without a loss, Seattle Sounders FC are one of the hottest teams in MLS and have made a remarkable climb up the Western Conference, one that can push them ahead of the playoff line with a win against an LA Galaxy side winless in their last three after a pair of disappointing draws.
The Sounders are coming off a 2-1 home win over FC Dallas to move within three points of sixth-place Real Salt Lake, while the Galaxy settled for a 2-2 home draw against the Colorado Rapids Tuesday night.
