Our Prediction for Vancouver Whitecaps vs Los Angeles FC
The "Blue and White" are one of the few Canadian teams in MLS. Last season, they made the playoffs after finishing sixth in the West, only to be eliminated in the first knockout round. The "Black and Gold" finished third and reached the playoff final, where they ultimately lost to Columbus Crew in the title match.

Following this victory, they continued their momentum in the latter part of the regular season, ultimately securing the top spot in the conference with 64 points. The Canadians struggled at the end of the regular season, going winless in seven games with four straight losses, and finished eighth in the West with 47 points. However, they then achieved a convincing 5-0 victory over Portland Timbers in the preliminary playoff round.
