LAG vs SS Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
- The first target for Los Angeles Galaxy is to qualify for the playoffs, having failed to do so since 2016.
- As things stand, Galaxy are 3rd in the West, only one point behind Minnesota United in 2nd.
- But the West is a complete mess, for the 8th placed FC Dallas are just five points adrift of Minnesota. So Galaxy still have a lot to do to earn a place in the postseason.
- For Sounders, despite them struggling at the moment, not winning in the last three and losing twice, they can leapfrog both Galaxy and Minnesota with a win at Dignity Health Sports Park.
Team News:
LA Galaxy:
- Wingman Romain Alessandrini remains out with a long-term injury.
- Both Joe Corona (knee injury) and Perry Kitchen (groin surgery) are listed as doubtful and will be assessed before the match.
- Daniel Steres and Diego Polenta should partner at the back, following a solid display in the last game.
- Uriel Antuna could replace Julian Araujo in a like-for-like replacement, as is the case with Efraín Álvarez who may lose his place to Fabio Alvarez.
Seattle Sounders:
- The visitors will miss Will Bruin (right ACL tear), defenders Brad Smith (right adductor strain), and Alex Roldan (left ankle sprain) and midfielder Victor Rodriguez (left hamstring strain) with injuries.
- Roman Torres has been handed a 10-game ban for the use of performance-enhancing drugs and is unavailable for selection.
- Seattle Sounders’ head coach Brian Schmetzer has all the reason to make changes here.
- One should come at the back with Saad Abdul-Salaam losing his place to Kim Kee-hee.
- Gustav Svensson is pushing for inclusion in the defensive midfield and is in contention to start ahead of Jordy Delem.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: The Swedish superstar is still too good for the most MLS defenders even at this age.

RM vs CEV Dream11 Grand League Scenarios:
- If Galaxy wins: Choose Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He should be your captain, but no more striker from Galaxy. Go with Favio Alvarez and Jonathan dos Santos from midfield. The duo is attack-minded and can get a goal or an assist as well.
- From the back, you must go with Daniel Steres. He has been in good scoring touch of late and is a threat from the dead-ball situations.
- If there is a draw: Choose still the above-mentioned players, and add Lletget in your midfield.
- While from Saunders, James Morris is a must-have. He has been fantastic all seaosn.
- As is their striker Raul Ruidiaz, who is a leading goal scorer for the team.
