Prediction: 2-0
Vancouver Whitecaps
Following a goalless draw with Sporting Kansas City, Los Angeles Galaxy will look to return to winning ways in the Major League Soccer when they take on Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday morning. Los Angeles Galaxy are eager to record their first win of the process, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Canadian outfit. In Chicharito’s absence, Serbia international Dejan Joveljic is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. Douglas Costa is yet another absentee in the home team.
Vancouver Whitecaps, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Dallas, but given their display in a 2-1 loss to San Jose, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts this time out. Defender Cristian Gutierrez and midfielder Deiber Caicedo should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jorge Villafaña):
Jorge Villafana is an American footballer who began his senior career at Chivas USA. Villafana was born in Anaheim, California on September 16, 1989 and he played for the likes of Santa Ana DSP Juventus and Chivas USA during his youth career.
Nowadays, the American footballer plays for Portland Timbers, but it has to be noted that he made no more than eight appearances for the club in the 2018 season. In 2015, though, Jorge Villafana did well to win the MLS Cup in 2015 and three years later he clinched the Liga MX trophy (Clausura) with Santos Laguna.
Speaking of his international career, the Portland Timbers man made his full USA debut in a friendly against Serbia on January 29, 2017. Over the years Villafana has established himself as a first-choice left-back in the national team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. The USA international has a dual citizenship (USA, Mexico).
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.
