Vancouver Whitecaps vs LAFC Preview & Picks


Vancouver Whitecaps had to stomach a massive 5-2 defeat at the hands of their next opponents last week as they were given a lesson on the football pitch. 

LAFC were in scintillating form last week, and they are looking to extend their four-game unbeaten run. 

  • Vancouver have not won any of their last three (L1, D2)
  • The Whitecaps are unbeaten in their last three home games (W1, D2)
  • LAFC are unbeaten in their last four (W3, D1)
  • LAFC have one win in their last nine away games (L4, D4)

Head-To-Head


The two sides have traded blows this season, with LAFC winning once, Vancouver winning once and the other match ending in a draw. All three of their meetings this term have seen both sides scoring. 

Vancouver Whitecaps Form 


The Vancouver Whitecaps have a chance to save their season this week, but they will have to be far better in their second meeting with LAFC after they were humbled in a 5-2 defeat on the road. 

While the Whitecaps saw almost half of the ball in the game, they could only notch eight shots with two hitting the target. While they were clinical, scoring with their two shots on target, they allowed LAFC far too many chances, with their hosts taking 19 shots. 

This week, the Whitecaps have to be clinical going forward and strong at the back. One slip could be the difference between this clash going to a deciding game and Vancouver watching the rest of the playoffs from the sideline. 

LAFC Form 


LAFC were irresistible last week as they hammered their opponents to take a real stranglehold on the tie. 

While they are only 1-0 up in the series, the psychological impact of their 5-2 win on both sides will be huge heading into this one. If the away team can score the first goal then it could see the heads of the Whitecaps go down, resulting in a one-sided clash. 

While LAFC are on the road in this one, we are backing them to make it five without defeat in the MLS. 

Verdict

While we do predict that Vancouver will score, we think it will be in a losing cause as LAFC wrap up their playoff.
