Los Angeles FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps tips and predictions

Los Angeles FC mental strength makes them tough to oppose

Even though Los Angeles FC are a short price what happens here is anyone's guess. Without sitting on the fence, the home side should win but if they aren't in the right frame of mind then who knows. The home side should win, on paper at least.

The hosts are coming into the match with 7 home wins from their last 9.

On their own soil Los Angeles FC have looked determined. Their recent 18 home matches have them knocking in an average of 2.8 goals per game while their defenders have been cleaning things up. They have only conceded an average of 0.9 goals over their last 7 games at home. This clash is an opportunity for them to keep another clean sheet.

Vancouver Whitecaps have not enjoyed some of their recent trips. They conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 11 away matches. It's unlikely they'll have the wherewithal to keep the hosts out.

And of course they have previous. Los Angeles FC have won 4 of the last 6 fixtures between the two teams.

The sportsbooks have forecasted goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Los Angeles FC. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
