LAFC is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won their last 6 straight matches and their attack has been on fire in these. They have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 6 matches and they have scored at least 3 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches as well. Their defense has also been very good in their recent matches as they have allowed just 2 goals in their last 4 matches. When playing at home, they have won their last 3 straight matches there and have outscored opponents 7-2 in those 3 matches. They are going up against a Vancouver side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They are coming off of a 5-0 win at home in their last match which was the Wild Card against Portland just to make it to this 1st round, but prior to that win they had lost 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 7 matches with no wins in their last 8 straight. Their defense was not great in those matches either, allowing at least 2 goals in each of their last 2 as well as 3 of their last 4 matches prior to that win. Even their attack was struggling heavily prior to that 5 goal explosion as they only scored 2 goals in 4 matches and 3 goals in 6 matches before that. That 5-0 win was also at home where they have played 4 of their last 5 matches, but they have been much worse away from home recently as they have lost their last 2 away matches, allowing 6 goals in those. LAFC has been in much better form recently as well as being much better on defense, and they have won the last 4 straight MLS meetings with Vancouver, winning 2 of those by 2+ goals. LAFC will win this match at home, take LAFC -1 here.
