LAFC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

The previous confrontation between the two teams ended in a draw.

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) are all set to lock horns with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Western Conference fixture of the Major League Soccer 2025 season. The interesting contest between the two sides is scheduled to take place at the BMO Stadium.

The Black and Gold have performed well in the MLS this season, but they are coming in after getting eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. LAFC weren’t able to win any of their three group stage games. Due to their lacklustre performances on the world stage, they got knocked out. They will now be looking to get back their form.

Vancouver Whitecaps have come up with some good performances in the league this season. They are placed second on the Western Conference points table and will be aiming for the top spot. The Whitecaps don’t have the best record against LAFC, hence they will be looking to come up with a different set of plays.

Players to Watch

Denis Bouanga (LAFC)

Denis Bouanga is the top goal scorer for Los Angeles FC in the Major League Soccer this season. In 15 league appearances for his side, he has scored eight goals and has also bagged five assists. Even though he was not very impactful during the Club World Cup, Bounga is going to play an important role by leading the attack from the left for the Black and Gold.

Pedro Vite (Vancouver Whitecaps)

In the absence of Brian White, Pedro Vite will have an important role to play in the final third as well. He has 10 goal involvements in 16 MLS games this season. He will be looking to step up here as it is not going to be an easy fixture for the Vancouver Whitecaps. Despite being predominantly a midfielder, he can play as a winger too.
