LA Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction: First win for Galaxy?

The final round 4 match of the new campaign is between LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps at the Dignity Health Sports Park. LA Galaxy have not had the start they had hoped but there's a chance for them to correct that against the Whitecaps at home. The Whitecaps gave all it took to progress in the CONCACAF Champions League knockout stage, after winning Real CD Espana 7-3 on aggregate. Let's take a close look at both teams below.

LA Galaxy (DLWLL)

LA Galaxy are just playing their third match in the new season, after their first match against Los Angeles FC got postponed. LA Galaxy had a poor beginning to the season by losing 3-1 to Dallas and then playing a blank 0-0 draw with Sporting Kansas City. Both matches were away from home and finally LA Galaxy get to play on home turf for the first time this season. Hopefully that will give them the competitive edge they need to pick up their first win. 

Currently the team is ranked 12th in the Western Conference, with just 1 point and a game in hand. 

Team Streaks:- less than 2.5 goals (6/8), Both teams scoring (6/8), less than 4.5 cards (6/7). 

Vancouver Whitecaps (LDWLL)

Vancouver Whitecaps got through to the next round of the CONCACAF Champions League despite losing 3-2 to Real CD Espana in the second leg, thanks to the 5 goal cushion they had from the first leg. 

Besides the 5-0 win, Vancouver Whitecaps are equally really poor right now. They lost their first 2 matches and picked up a draw in the third match of the season. Which makes me believe this team will struggle away from home.

Vancouver Whitecaps are currently ranked 11th in the Western Conference with 1 from 3 matches played so far.

Team Streaks:- more than 2.5 goals (⅘), both teams scoring (⅘), first to score (⅚), less than 4.5 cards (7/9).
