LA advanced to the quarterfinals in the 2013-14 edition of the tournament and was semifinalist in the 2012-13 Champions League. Bruce Arena’s squad qualified for this installment of the tournament by winning the 2014 MLS Cup last December. This is the fifth time in which LA have qualified for the Champions League, debuting in the 2010-11 edition of the tournament. In 14 all-time group stage games, the Galaxy are 10-3-1, including a perfect 7-0-0 at home.
Heading into Sunday’s match against Seattle Sounders FC, the Galaxy are 7-4-5 all-time against their Western Conference counterpart, scoring 22 goals in the 16 games played head to head during the regular season. In their last meeting earlier this year, Alan Gordon scored the game winner in a 1-0 victory at StubHub Center on April 12 over the 2014 MLS Supporters Shield winners. Sunday marks the second of three total head-to-head matches against Seattle this season, with the final contest coming on Oct. 4 at CenturyLink Field.

The team has gone 4-0-0 in their previous four matches at home, scoring 19 goals and allowing just three.
