Recent form

Los Angeles FC

Los Angeles FC are currently on an impressive six-game winning streak, showcasing exceptional form across both Major League Soccer and the US Open Cup. Their offensive prowess is evident, having scored 14 goals in their last six matches, averaging an impressive 2.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've been solid as well, conceding only four goals during this period, with two clean sheets to their name. The team's goal difference of +10 over these six games is particularly noteworthy. LAFC have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals, providing entertainment for fans. Their ability to score consistently is complemented by their defensive resilience, making them a formidable opponent in both league and cup competitions.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Vancouver Whitecaps' recent form has been rather inconsistent, with a notable turnaround in their latest match. After enduring a concerning four-match losing streak, the Whitecaps bounced back emphatically with a 5-0 thrashing of Portland Timbers, their highest-scoring game in this period. This victory was particularly impressive as it followed a run of three consecutive home defeats where they failed to score. Despite the recent slump, the Whitecaps have shown they can be prolific in front of goal, averaging 1.33 goals per game over their last six matches. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.5 goals per game on average. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting their games tend to be high-scoring affairs. The clean sheet in their latest match was their first in six games, potentially signalling an improvement in their defensive solidity.
