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

Prediction published on 10/25/24, 9:45 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 10/26/24 at 11:49 AM in Major League Soccer Picks

With odds of up to -200 for victory in the first match, Los Angeles FC and Vancouver Whitecaps face each other at BMO Stadium. This is the second time these teams have met in the first round of the MLS Playoffs in the last two seasons.

Also in the round of 16 of the MLS 2023, Los Angeles FC, which ended up reaching the final, met the Canadian team, which it dispatched without problems, winning the first match 5-2 and the second 0-1. That time, in the match played in Los Angeles, defender Hollingshead scored two goals and will probably be in the starting 11 a year later.

After a terrible close to the campaign where Whitecaps lost the last 4 games of the regular season, and where they also did not win in any of the last 7, the Canadian team was losing positions until being forced to play the Play-In. It looked like a different team when they beat the Timbers 5-0 with a double from Scottish midfielder Gaud.

For Los Angeles FC, this is another successful season so far, even more so when they won their first US Open Cup and reached the Leagues Cup final. Having scored 64 points and leading the Western Conference was the third highest score in the club's history.
