Preview: LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders FC in Leagues Cup Semifinals | OneFootball

A soccer team with a record of 4-7-16 and sits at the bottom of the MLS Western Conference standings has a chance to win the 2025 Leagues Cup. The defending MLS Cup champions may not qualify for this year's playoffs. However, they are still in the running for a different title.

The semifinals of the Leagues Cup are here with four MLS teams in action. Orlando City SC and Inter Miami play on Wednesday evening before the Los Angeles Galaxy hosts the Seattle Sounders FC.

The LA Galaxy have not only benefited from improved play by goalkeeper Novak Micovic, but the offensive quartet of Gabriel Pec, Joseph Paintsil, Marco Reus, and Matheus Nascimento has done most of the scoring for their team in the Leagues Cup tournament.

Seattle will have to win on without one of the best players on Wednesday. The Sounders are still a threat behind Albert Rusnák and Paul Rothrock. Rusnák has 10 goals and seven assists while Rothrock also has seven assists but just three goals in MLS this season.
