Striker Dejan Joveljic remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while full-back Julian Aude is recovering from a groin problem. Both players are expected to return to action within the next couple of weeks.

LA Galaxy predicted lineup vs Seattle Sounders ( 4-3-3 ): McCarthy; Yamane, Yoshida, Neal, Nelson; Brugman, Puig, Delgado; Pec, Paintsil, Fagundez.

Both teams have a fair amount of quality in their squads, but the Galaxy have the difference makers up front with the likes of Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintsil and Gabriel Pec. The Sounders might have a stronger backline, but the Gs will have enough in them to get the job done and advance to the Round of 16.

Prediction: Seattle Sounders 1-2 LA Galaxy
