Los Angeles Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps tips and predictions

Vancouver Whitecaps shouldn't challenge Los Angeles Galaxy

It's hard to see beyond a home win but their short price is nothing to get excited about. It's just that Vancouver Whitecaps aren't likely to have enough form to pull off the upset.

Reviewing the two sides' results leading up to the match, the hosts have got 5 wins under their belt from their last 8 home games while the visitors haven't exactly put in worldie displays, losing all of their last 5 matches when away from home. The stars are aligned for one more defeat here.

These home players have enjoyed a purple patch on their own turf. Los Angeles Galaxy scored two or more goals in 9 of their recent 11 home matches and their defensive showings have also been recognised. At the back they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 home games. They'll see this clash as an opportunity to put in another strong display in defence and they're likely to keep a clean sheet.

Vancouver Whitecaps haven't managed to maintain a clean sheet on the road for a while. They've conceded two or more times in all of their last 5 away matches. It could put a spanner in the works for their ambitions.

The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Los Angeles Galaxy. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks more tempting for this encounter. Looking into the goal line, it's Over 1.5 Goals in this match given these prices.
