Seattle's dominant H2H record and stout home defense make a low-scoring home win the most likely outcome.

Joao Klauss is listed as missing the fixture with a foot injury.
- Galaxy failed to score in two of the last three H2H matches (4-0 and 2-0 losses).
- Galaxy have scored only 1.5 goals per game on average this season, and Klauss is a key part of their attack.
