Los Angeles FC desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 2 at 1:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Vancouver Whitecaps come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Los Angeles FC travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Vancouver Whitecaps face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Los Angeles FC have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Vancouver Whitecaps a slight edge, but Los Angeles FC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
