Our prediction for this MLS match:
Los Angeles FC will be aiming to book their spot in the MLS Cup quarter-finals when they host Vancouver Whitecaps to their BMO Stadium in the decider. Los Angeles FC aim to get their revenge on Vancouver for the heavy 3-0 loss in Canada, but the hosts could be low on confidence in Saturday’s clash. To make things even worse for the home side, defender Eddie Segura serves a one-game ban.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run on the road and despite their fine display in the second leg, we are tempted to put our money on the Black and Gold Falcons. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but Syria defender Belal Halbouni remains doubtful. In the first leg Los Angeles FC defeated Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Vancouver Whitecaps):
Vancouver Whitecaps are yet another Canadian side that compete in Major League Soccer. Vancouver began play in the USA top flight in 2011 and one year later they became the first Canadian outfit to book their place in the MLS Cup play-offs. However, star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy proved to be a big catch for the Whitecaps in the knockout round. Vancouver, though, did remarkably well to win the Canadian Championship in 2015, with the team beating Montreal Impact in the title game.
In 2016 they made it to the final of the tournament as well, but Toronto FC eventually won the trophy. The Whitecaps are owned by Greg Kerfoot, Steve Luczo, Jeff Mallett and Steve Steve Nash, the former NBA star, and they play their home matches at BC Place. Speaking of MLS games, the capacity of the venue is 22.120 and you should know that the stadium was opened back in 1983. The Caps wear white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is blue.
