Los Angeles FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction & Betting tips
The undefeated home league leader, Los Angeles, receives the Vancouver Whitecaps – the troubled last in the West. While the LAFC already draws its circle at the top of the table to the west in the middle of the regular season, the Canadians rank in the table cellar. The re-miss of the playoffs threatens and for four matchdays remained a threesome.
The main reason is a tense staff situation due to the interim termination of various players to the Canadian national team for the Gold Cup and injury pitch. In addition, it is clear that the departure of last year’s best striker, Kei Kamara from Sierra Leone, on the offensive left a hard-to-fill gap.
Thus, Vancouver has the worst offensive balance in the West. The home side, in turn, responded immediately after a surprise away defeat at the Colorado Rapids on Matchday 2, scoring a 5-1 success in Kansas City. In Los Angeles vs. Vancouver Whitecaps, the tip is that the hosts win by at least two goals. The Los Angeles is against Vancouver Whitecaps forecast with five units.
Los Angeles :
The remainder of the Western Conference franchises have certainly hoped in unison that LA’s defeat of Colorado’s Rapids may mark the beginning of a California kickback. A vain request: The LAFC won 5: 1 instead of last Thursday at Sporting Kansas City. Only two league games were lost and after the first season’s defeat against the upcoming opponents last April, Los Angeles was not unsettled and subsequently landed a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders, incidentally, no runaway as a third in the West.
It is obvious that Coach Bob Bradley’s team is bursting with self-confidence in their second MLS season, which is not shaken even after beating back. There are plenty of reasons for a broad chest: With 44 goals after 18 match days, LA has by far the best offensive in the MLS. Furthermore, the defensive is much stronger compared to the previous year. Only 15 goals in this area are the best in Major League Soccer dar. That in attack is going so well, is again mainly a merit of Carlos Vela. The Mexican has scored 17 goals in 18 appearances and it is suspected: This value is also unequaled in the league.
Diego Rossi is particularly fond of the Canadians. He scored no less than three of LA’s four competitive goals so far. As the 21-year-old striker is currently also very well established, in three of his most recent five competitive games einnetzte and with nine goals, the top scorer in the league (50 percent scoring) is in Los Angeles against Vancouver Whitecaps the odds for a sequel his personal series additionally worth considering. Furthermore, the odds are noticeably higher than for Vela, which is why a bit more value is to be discovered.
Vancouver Whitecaps:
Vancouver represents one of three Canadian teams in Major League Soccer. The Whitecaps are affiliated to the league since 2011. The greatest successes were the achievement of the Conference semi-finals in 2015 and 2017. In the last season, however, the rolls were smaller again and the playoffs were missed with eighth place in the West. At the moment, the kickers from the Canadian west coast are only on the tenth and third last place in the west. For four rounds no more was won; The drop in performance can be explained above all by the personal bloodletting resulting from this year’s Gold Cup. After all, the Blue and White had to turn off four players to the national team.
Although these have now returned to the squad after the surprise retirement in the quarter-final against Haiti, but the games at the tournament have obviously cost strength, as only goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau was not used. A physical deficit would not be unlikely for the national team at the moment. There are also several injured such as the young striker Joaquin Ardaiz from Uruguay or the Canadian newcomer David Norman in midfield. Overall, a melange that currently prevents continuous training work with the entire squad for coach Marc dos Santos in Vancouver. The coach has also been in the job since this season and is a novice in this role in the MLS.
Especially in foreign countries, the caps have been little more than a welcome point supplier: Only one win and four draws come in the context of nine guest appearances and still no clean sheet was achieved. Another construction site is the offensive with just over one goal per match. This is the worst value in the Western Conference. The upcoming opponent scores twice as many goals in his games.
Alone newcomer Fredy Montero from Colombia can be taken out of the criticism of the attack department. The 31-year-old came from Sporting in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and with six goals Montero is clearly the best scorer in the Whitecaps. He already knows the role, because Montero kicked two years ago for a season at Vancouver and then also scored the most goals in the blue-white.
