José Cifuentes will be suspended for this match. Captain Vela is edging closer to a return and is only doubtful now. Eddie Segura and Kwadwo Opoku, who both have knee injuries of their own, has been joined on the injury list by Ginella with his own knee issue. Atuesta, like Vela, is also close to a return, but has missed the last few through injury. João Paulo is out through suspension. Raúl Ruidíaz has a hamstring strain and remains absent here, but is getting closer to a return, which could come in the next couple of weeks. Captain Nicolas Lodeiro, who has been out for sometime with a knee injury, has reportedly progressed well lately and could even make a return to the squad for this match. Jordy Delem has suffered an ACL injury and will miss the remainder of the season. Jordan Morris remains out as he recovers from his own ACL injury, but has improved significantly lately and isn't too far away. Defender Brad Smith will continue to be absent this week due to 'health and safety' protocols.
A draw at the weekend for LA keeps them in touching distance of the playoffs, but they really need maximum points from their final few games to make it. It's now three games without a win for Seattle after losing 2-1 at the weekend. They remain top in the West however and still the conference's team to beat. Seattle will be determined not to suffer another defeat, with this one ending up all square. 2:2
