Vancouver Whitecaps vs LAFC: Storylines

The last time Vancouver Whitecaps and Los Angeles FC faced off, the latter ended up on top with an impressive 6-0 win. This time, however, the black-and-gold will be forced to figure things out without plenty of their stars.

Carlos Vela will stay on the shelf with a knee injury while Diego Rossi won't be available due to international duty, as well as Brian Rodriguez, José Cifuentes, and even Diego Palacios, so that will be a tough task for coach Bob Bradley, for sure.

Vancouver Whitecaps will also be shorthanded as Maxime Crépeau will be out with a finger injury, Cristian Gutiérrez and Thomas Hasal will miss the game due to Covid-19, and Jasser Khemiri is out on international duty.

Both teams like to take a lot of risks and attack with a lot of personnel, and neither of them is exactly solid on their own third of the pitch, so we can definitely expect to see plenty of scoring at Providence Park.
