In the MLS, they have one loss in five matches, and three clean sheets in that run. Their only loss was a heavy one – 4-0 away to the Seattle Sounders. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals, and they’ve scored two times in three of the five.

Los Angeles FC are unbeaten in their last two meetings with Vancouver Whitecaps and in the last seven, they have three wins and two losses.
