Sounders will have revenge on their minds when they visit expansion team Los Angeles FC

The Sounders opened their Major League Soccer season with a home loss to Los Angeles FC. On Sunday, they meet again — in Los Angeles, in the expansion team’s home opener at $350 million Banc of California Stadium.

Under normal conditions, the Sounders would face a challenge Sunday in winning on the road against a team that has already beaten them at home.

But this rematch against the expansion Los Angeles FC side comes with the added drama of that franchise’s home debut in the most expensive soccer-specific stadium built in this country. The 22,000-seat, open-air Banc of California Stadium cost $350 million.
