LA Galaxy will have their eyes affixed on top spot in the Western Conference when they host Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS on Monday. Galaxy are currently third with 31 points, just two below leaders Sporting KC. Meanwhile, Vancouver Whitecaps are bottom of the conference on 15 points. Galaxy have improved from an earlier three-game winless run and go to this game on two straight wins. They beat Real Salt Lake 1-0 in their last outing, that making it the eighth game in the last 10 matches that they have managed to score in. In five of those 10 matches, they have scored two or more in five and kept just one clean sheet. Basically, both teams have scored in seven of their last 10 matches.

While Vancouver are rooted at the bottom of the conference, their recent results have posted improvement. They are unbeaten in the last four matches, though they have three straight draws ahead of this game. Their goal scoring run should give them a sense of optimism going into this fixture but in terms of defence they haven’t been at their best. In the last four matches, Vancouver have scored two goals in three, but they have just one clean sheet in the last four matches, and failed to score completely in two. Both sides have scored in three of their last four matches and after their recent performances, Vancouver will be hoping to improve on their single win in five matches.
