After a convincing victory against the Vancouver Whitecaps (5-2), Los Angeles will be looking forward to securing a spot in the next round. Steve Cherunudolo’s men delivered a memorable performance and deservedly won the match. Two braces from Denis Bouanga and Ryan Hollingshead made sure the Black and Gold left no question marks.
Vancouver Whitecaps were lacklustre during the whole game. Despite the score being level at halftime, with goals from Brian White and Sam Adekugbe, it wasn’t enough to prevent a 3-goal defeat.
For the Whitecaps it will be a decisive game. The loss will result in elimination and Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, will be determined to close the series without forcing a third match.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs Los Angeles FC – Predictions and Odds
- Pick: Draw or Los Angeles FC to win
- Odds: -232 (TonyBet)
The previous leg was a demonstration of Los Angeles’ capabilities. Cherundolo’s side showed some problems in the first half but the second one was a far cry. The Whitecaps were far from their best. Added to that, Denis Bouanga has continued his impressive scoring run and now has 35 goals in all competitions.
We think that the Black and Gold will not lose this match. They are confident, have a more balanced squad and defensive stalwarts like Giorgio Chiellini and Jason Murillo will hold back the attackers. Consider Los Angeles FC not to lose.

The last match saw a real goal-fest. In total, the teams scored 7 goals and 4 of them came in the first half. The Whitecaps have nothing to lose and they will be in the offense from the first minutes. Los Angeles on the other hand will get a lot of space in the attack. It is expected that teams are likely to score against each other.
If we take a look at H2H statistics usually these teams frequently score against each other. The previous 3 matches all ended with BTTS. Thus we think it is reasonable to pick this selection.
