LAFC, strong contenders, arrive with a dominant recent performance.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Los Angeles FC Predictions


Two of the strongest teams in North America are likely to deliver a compelling and entertaining playoff contest in Vancouver. BTTS is my best bet in a match that could go either way. 

Stats


  • Vancouver Whitecaps have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 matches
  • Los Angeles FC have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 away matches against Vancouver
  • Los Angeles FC have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches

Head to Head


Vancouver Whitecaps and Los Angeles FC will meet for the 28th time this weekend. LAFC won 13 games while Vancouver claimed seven victories, including a 1-0 win in California in their most recent encounter last June. 

Vancouver Whitecaps Form


Vancouver secured their spot in the MLS Playoffs Western Conference semifinals with a dramatic penalty shootout win over Dallas in their best-of-three series three weeks ago. After sharing victories in legs one and two, the Whitecaps emerged triumphant with a 4-2 spotkick success after a 1-1 draw in Texas.

Jesper Sorensen's side have enjoyed an excellent campaign, finishing second in the Western Conference, narrowly missing out on the title on goal difference. 

The tough-to-beat Canadian side are unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 matches since mid-August, and have scored at least one goal in their 18 most recent fixtures.

Vancouver Whitecaps Team News


Vancouver boss Sorensen has several injury concerns ahead of the weekend. Ranko Veselinovic and Sam Adekugbe are ruled out, while top scorer Brian White leads a group of players battling to prove their fitness. Sebastian Schonlau, Daniel Rios, Tate Johnson and Tristan Blackmon will all face late tests before Saturday's vital MLS matchup.

Los Angeles Form


Los Angeles make the trip to Vancouver nearly three weeks after their comfortable quarter-final series win against Austin. The Black and Gold claimed a 2-1 win in Los Angeles before securing their spot in the semifinals with a dominant 4-1 success in Texas.

Steven Cherundolo's side have enjoyed a superb run of form in the past couple of months. LAFC won eight and lost only one of their previous ten games since mid-September, while they scored at least one goal in all but one of their last 17 fixtures.

The Californian outfit finished third in the MLS Western Conference regular season, three points behind Vancouver. 

Los Angeles Team News


Head coach Cherundolo is unable to call on the long-term injured trio of Igor Jesus, Aaron Long and Yaw Yeboah, while Lorenzo Dellavalle and Odin Thiago Holm face late fitness tests.

In-form forwards Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga will spearhead the LAFC attack in Canada.

Predicted Lineups


Vancouver Whitecaps (4-3-3)

Yohei Takaoka; Edier Ocampo, Belal Halbouni, Tristan Blackmon, Tate Johnson; Sebastian Berhalter, Agustin Cubas, Emmanuel Sabbi; Thomas Müller, Ali Ahmed, Brian White

Los Angeles FC (4-3-3)

Hugo Lloris; Ryan Porteous; Jailson Marques, Eddie Segura, Sergi Palencia; Timothy Tillman, Mark Delgado, Ryan Hollingshead; Nathan Ordaz, Heung-Min Son, Denis Bouanga

Verdict

It's tough to split these sides, but both are likely to score in a fascinating contest in Canada. BTTS is my best bet on Saturday.
