📰 Team News: Vancouver Whitecaps

Ryan Gauld (Knee injury) and Mathías Laborda (Muscle injury) will not be taking part for Vancouver Whitecaps gaffer Jesper Sørensen.

In all likelihood, Caps will possibly opt for a 4-1-2-3 system this time with Yohei Takaoka, Édier Ocampo, Tristan Blackmon, Bjørn Inge Utvik, Tate Johnson, Ralph Priso-Mbongue, Andres Cubas, Jean-Claude Ngando, Pedro Vite, Brian White and Jayden Nelson.

📰 Team News: Los Angeles FC

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group, there is only a single fitness worry for the Los Angeles FC gaffer Steve Cherundolo to be concerned about. Lorenzo Dellavalle (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

There’s a good chance that Los Angeles FC could decide to play in a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for Hugo Lloris, Sergi Palencia, Aaron Long, Eddie Segura, Ryan Hollingshead, Timothy Tillman, Igor Jesus, Marco Delgado, David Martínez, Nathan Ordaz and Denis Bouanga.

💡 Prediction

Our assessment is that Los Angeles FC are certainly able to score a goal against this Vancouver Whitecaps outfit, however that realistically won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re going for both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Vancouver Whitecaps at the end of the match. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
