LAFC, having recently dominated their series against the Vancouver Whitecaps, will look to continue their strong form at home. The team has no fresh injury concerns, although Lorenzo Dellavalle has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to an ACL injury.

The Seattle Sounders, who advanced to the semifinals after defeating the Houston Dynamo in two games, are on a nine-game unbeaten streak. Key players Jordan Morris, Cody Baker, and Albert Rusnak are expected to be available for the match, with Morris returning to training after a minor knock and Baker and Rusnak recovering from concussion protocol and hip tightness, respectively.
