Los Angeles FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps. Shape of the Teams
Los Angeles FC will host Vancouver Whitecaps at BMO Stadium on May 12. After their defeat against the San Jose Earthquakes, the hosts will be determined to bounce back as soon as possible. However, given the table standings and the current form of the teams, it might be difficult to pull off a victory.
The defeat against the Earthquakes showed the frailty of LAFC’s defence. By the 59th minute, San Jose had a commanding 3-0 lead. Although Cristian Oliveira scored a consolation goal later, they only had 7 shots on target and appeared lacklustre throughout the whole game.
In contrast, the Whitecaps have had a mixed run in their last five matches, with two wins, two draws, and one loss. They ended their previous game against Austin FC with a goalless 0-0 draw. However, the Whitecaps were the better side, shooting 22 times compared to the opponents’ four attempts.

Los Angeles FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -164 (Tonybet)
Both sides are equipped with pace and strong offensive capabilities, led by the top goalscorers from each side – Denis Bouanga and Brian White. LAFC’s last seven encounters ended with both teams scoring. Moreover, these matches were highly productive.
Meanwhile, the Whitecaps struggle to keep a clean sheet due to defensive inconsistencies. As a result, I anticipate that the two teams will exchange goals in this game.
In head-to-head encounters, four of the last five matches between LAFC and the Whitecaps ended with both teams scoring. Los Angeles is playing at home, and I think they will likely press forward. On the other hand, the Whitecaps will look to maintain pressure and not relinquish the initiative easily.
A lot will depend on Denis Bouanga’s performance. The former St Etienne star is a consistent offensive threat, and he will be eager to add to his goal tally. Ultimately, this game could hinge on his performance.
Los Angeles FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Betting Tip
- Pick: Vancouver Whitecaps or Draw
- Odds: +104 (Tonybet)
Although Los Angeles might have a historical advantage in head-to-head matches, the Whitecaps are currently in better form. They comfortably sit in the fourth position and are motivated to fight for their ultimate goals. That’s why I anticipate a strong performance from them.
In contrast, Los Angeles suffered a heavy defeat against the San Jose Earthquakes. The Whitecaps will likely aim to capitalize on that to secure a favourable result. Their midfield seems stronger compared to LAFC’s, and defensively, they can hamper their opponents.

Moreover, Vancouver has been undefeated in four consecutive away matches and boasts some of the best results. While they will face some opposition from Los Angeles, I think that the guests will clinch at least a draw.
