Los Angeles Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 9/19/24, 10:30 PM  by Carlos Zabala in Major League Soccer Picks

The MLS regular season is coming to an end, and Los Angeles Galaxy have had a great campaign so far and lead the Western Conference, 5 points behind Real Salt Lake City, who are chasing them. However, against Vancouver Whitecaps, Los Angeles Galaxy will want to regain their winning form. Since the end of the Leagues Cup, where they went out in the first round of direct elimination against Seattle Sounders, in the MLS Los Angeles Galaxy have alternated wins and losses in 4 games.

The last was a loss against Portland Timbers 2-4, where they were defensively lax, allowing 2 goals in the first half, 4 in total and 12 shots on goal. However, this is normal for Vanney's team that prefers games where offense against offense is played, in the last one they lost but Los Angeles shot 25 times and 8 on goal.

Vancouver Whitecaps will want to maintain their recent form in MLS where they have not lost in 4 games since playing the Leagues Cup and Championship. If they qualify for the playoffs, which seems likely, Vancouver Whitecaps would have two consecutive seasons reaching the final phase of the MLS, something they have not done since 2014 and 2015.
