In the MLS Western Conference, three teams are tied for first place with 33 points, and two of them will face each other in Canada when the Vancouver Whitecaps take on LAFC.

Marc Dos Santos, formerly managing Vancouver and now at LAFC, has led the Californian side to a tremendously positive run lately, winning their last four MLS matches. Furthermore, his stars have responded brilliantly; in their most recent victory, all three forwards scored: Son Heung-min opened the scoring in the 5th minute, Bouanga netted a brace, and Martínez added another before halftime to secure a 4-0 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Meanwhile, the Vancouver Whitecaps, one of the most intense teams in MLS, failed to win against either Cincinnati or Minnesota after the World Cup break. Thus, Danish coach Jesper Sorensen risks failing to secure a league victory in a three-game stretch for the first time since taking over in 2015, but a win against LAFC could prevent it.

Our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Los Angeles FC Prediction

It's certainly an intriguing matchup, as LAFC has managed to avoid defeat in six of its seven visits to BC Place in Canada. However, this year the Vancouver Whitecaps have been incredibly effective at home, securing 21 out of a possible 24 points in eight matches, scoring 21 goals and conceding only 4.

This duel could be quite exciting, pitting two teams known for their attractive, attacking style of play against each other. Each side will feature two players with extensive experience in Europe and recognized names in world football: Son for the Californian team and Muller for the Canadian side.

Our prediciton for Vancouver Whitecaps vs LAFC is: LAFC to win or draw.

Prediction:

 

LAFC to win or draw.
