LA Galaxy vs Seattle Predicted Lineups

LA Galaxy Predicted XI: Novak Mićović; Julián Aude, Carlos Garcés, Maya Yoshida (c), Miki Yamane; Diego Fagúndez, Edwin Cerrillo; Joseph Paintsil, Marco Reus, Gabriel Pec; Matheus Nascimento.

Seattle Predicted XI: Andrew Thomas; Nouhou Tolo, Yeimar Gómez, Jackson Ragen, Alex Roldán; Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldán (c); Pedro de la Vega, Albert Rusnák, Jesús Ferreira; Daniel Musovski.

The hosts make just one change from their outing against Santos (the Mexican side!), with Yamane coming in for the impressive Mauricio Cuevas. Galaxy only have one absentee, with Riqui Puig out for the foreseeable future.

Seattle looks to make four changes to the side who beat Tijuana last week, as Kalani Kossa-Rienzi, Reed Baker-Whiting, Ryan Kent, and Osaze De Rosario will make way for Roldán, Tolo, De la Vega, and Musovski. On the injury front, Jordan Morris, João Paulo, Stuart Hawkins, and Paul Arriola will all be sidelined through troubles, while Kent and Rusnák both picked up knocks in the last game and their fitness will be monitored and assessed for Monday.

LA Galaxy vs Seattle Current League Standings

Domestically, LA Galaxy are having an awful time, with just three victories over the course of the 2025 season so far. However, two of their victories came within their last four MLS matches, while they also won twice in the Leagues Cup, against both Tijuana and Santos, while drawing 1-1 with Cruz Azul, losing 8-7 on penalties. They finished in the top four of the Leagues Cup and will enter the playoffs later on in the season.

Sounders are another of the four sides that have made the 2025 Leagues Cup playoffs, after they were the only side to go flawless throughout the first phase. They beat both Santos and Tijuana 2-1 after absolutely demolishing Cruz Azul in a storming 7-0 fashion. Top of the Leagues Cup, Seattle are also in the top 12 in the Supporters’ Shield, and a win on Monday would see them climb into the top 10.
