Prediction: Vancouver 2-3 LAFC
This could go down to the wire despite the difference between the two teams in the table and form.
However, we see LAFC winning this one as they are high on confidence and topping the table. This is in itself the motivation to continue raising levels of excellence.
Vancouver has also 3 wins from their last 5 and will take this right to the visitors.
