Game Preview
Los Angeles FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps met in the final round of the 2023 MLS. The game was played in Canada and the two drew 1-1. Neither team had major motivation in that game as they had already booked a place in the postseason. This time, however, there’s a lot at stake.
On Saturday, LAFC will be the host, which is one of many advantages this team has against the Whitecaps. Another advantage is that this team’s key men love playing big games such as the one in Round One of the 2023 MLS Playoffs.
The thing is that LAFC’s roster is packed with experienced players who know how to do well when it’s tough. Denis Bouanga, the former St. Etienne player, has been their best striker this season. Actually, the forward was the top scorer in the MLS in the regular season. Carlos Vela has also been great as well as many other LAFC attackers.
This is why it’s no surprise these guys have scored 54 so far in the 2023 season. What’s kind of surprising is that the Vancouver Whitecaps have scored even more (55). Does this mean we’re going to see goals galore on Saturday?
Los Angeles FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
These two have met eight times at BMO Stadium in competitive games and we saw a total of 35 in those games. That accounts for 4.37 goals per game on average. We expect to see something similar happen in the LAFC vs. Whitecaps Playoff game on October 28, but who’s gonna score more goals? It’s got to be the home team.
