  • Vancouver Whitecaps have the most clean sheets (9) out of any team in the MLS this season

LA Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps Previews, Form and Players to Watch

LA Galaxy have certainly not lived up to expectations this season. The side from California have been utterly disappointing in the MLS, as they sit rock bottom of the Western division on a measly nine points. Obviously, there is no threat of relegation in the MLS, but being six points adrift of the team above, Galaxy have plenty of sorting out to do. They have won just one game in the 20 they have played this season and will most likely not reach the Championship playoff group like they usually would. Greg Vanney’s men have endured the worst set of results out of any side in the MLS this term, as it took them 17 matches to get their first – and only – win of the league season. This win came just over a month ago, against Real Salt Lake in a 2-0 scoreline. However, since that result, LA Galaxy have played three more games – drawing two of them and losing the other.

Vancouver Whitecaps have performed on the complete other end of the spectrum this campaign. The Whitecaps currently occupy second place in the Western division, as they chase down San Diego FC who are one point ahead in top spot. Vancouver have managed to only lose three games out of the 19 they have played, earning themselves 38 points on the way. Whilst top spot would give Jesper Sørensen’s outfit a lot of confidence, it looks almost guaranteed that his men will make the Championship playoffs, sitting 12 points clear of the threshold. However, their form has taken a frantic turn as of late; after enjoying a 10-game MLS unbeaten run, the Caps have fallen to three defeats in their last five matches. However, they did manage to grab a win on the road in their last fixture, as they dismantled LAFC 1-0 in Los Angeles.

LA Galaxy Preview

LA Galaxy Predicted Line-Up: Micovic, Aude, Garces, Zanka, Yamane, Cerrillo, Paintsil, Fagundez, Reus, Pec, Nascimento

LA Galaxy’s star man has to be Marco Reus. The midfielder has led an illustrious career across Europe with Borussia Dortmund but now finds himself on Hollywood soil, performing in the MLS. The 36-year-old has managed to pick up four goals and five assists in the league already this season, including a goal in his last match against San Jose.

Vancouver Whitecaps Preview

Vancouver Whitecaps Predicted Line-Up: Takaoka, Johnson, Veselinovic, Blackmon, Laborda, Badwal, Cubas, Vite, Sabbi, Rios, Ocampo

Vancouver’s key player and top scorer Brian White is currently away on international duty with USA, therefore may not play in this fixture.

However, midfielder Pedro Vite can be just as effective. The Ecuadorean has bagged four goals and two assists in the MLS this season. However, he has not found the net since late May.

Head-to-Head Stats:

This fixture has been one known to go either way in the past. There is very rarely a tie, and the victorious team often alternates. However, earlier this season, it was Vancouver that came away with the win, as they beat Galaxy 2-1 on home turf back in March. The last five meetings between these sides are as follows:

  • Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 LA Galaxy, March 2025
  • LA Galaxy 4-2 Vancouver Whitecaps, September 2024
  • Vancouver Whitecaps 1-3 LA Galaxy, April 2024
  • LA Galaxy 1-2 Vancouver Whitecaps, July 2023
  • Vancouver Whitecaps 4-2 LA Galaxy, July 2023

Betting Tips

Given the current MLS table stature, Vancouver are most certainly the favourites heading into this match. They have only lost one game away from home and will not want to be doubling that against bottom of the table opposition. However, the Caps are without star-man Brian White.

For this reason, our betting experts have suggested that Vancouver Whitecaps to Win is the best value tip for this match. Odds on Highbet of 2.87 means that a £10 stake has the potential to return £28.70!
