Los Angeles FC will host Vancouver Whitecaps at Banc of California Stadium on Sunday in an MLS Western Conference clash.
In this clash between two teams at opposite ends of the table, Los Angeles should have the upper hand as they look to stay atop the Western Conference standings. After a 1-1 draw against Portland Timbers, they returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win at Inter Miami last week.
The Vancouver Whitecaps, meanwhile, are without a win in three league outings. They have scored just once in the league so far, in their 2-1 loss at Houston Dynamo.

Los Angeles FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
The hosts played out a 1-1 draw in their previous league outing at home against Portland Timbers and are expected to find the back of the net here. Two of their three wins against the Canadian rivals have come at home, scoring six goals in both of those games.
The visitors scored their first goal of the season in their previous outing and are yet to hit their stride. Taking into consideration the form of both teams, a win for the Western Conference leaders seems to be the likely outcome.
