BMO Stadium has been nightmare fuel for the Vancouver Whitecaps, but they’ll have to face their fears when they visit on Saturday night to take on LAFC. 
The top team in the Western Conference heading into the weekend, LAFC ended a six-match winless run with a victory over Seattle on Wednesday. Now they look to remain atop the conference and defeat a Vancouver side that they’ve never lost to at home in seven attempts. 
Meanwhile, the Whitecaps come into the weekend with a bit of a rest after their match at Colorado was called off due to severe weather on Wednesday, as they cling to the final playoff spot in the conference.
Can Vancouver pick up their first away victory of the season, or will LAFC continue to torment the visitors like a monster under the bed? Find out in our LAFC vs Vancouver Whitecaps picks and predictions for Saturday, June 24.
LAFC vs Vancouver Whitecaps best odds LAFC vs Vancouver Whitecaps picks and predictions
So far this season, LAFC have played 17 matches in MLS. Three of those matches have ended in scoreless draws, two of which came away from home. In the other 14 matches, LAFC opened the scoring 13 times. No other team in the league has allowed their opponent to score first fewer times than their one, with the next best side having done so five times.
It’s a big reason why our best bet for this weekend’s match is for LAFC to be leading the match at halftime. Yes, they’ve been struggling to score goals of late. But they’re not allowing their opponents to score at home, either. Four of their nine home fixtures in the league have seen them keep a clean sheet, with four others seeing just one goal conceded. And only two of those goals have come in the opening 45 minutes.
More importantly, LAFC have led at halftime in six of those nine matches at home, versus just once on the road. Why does that matter for this weekend’s match? Because, to put it kindly, Vancouver have been bad away from home. Like, really bad. Whether it’s been in league play or CONCACAF Champions League, fans have had to hide their eyes. Vancouver has played nine matches on the road this season. They’ve got as many wins as you do – not a single one. In fact, they’ve only drawn three times, and they’ve been held scoreless twice while conceding a total of 18 goals. They’ve managed just four first-half goals, and have trailed at halftime in four of their last six on enemy territory. Their six away goals are the fifth-fewest in the league, as well.
Did I mention one of those matches took place against the very LAFC side they’re facing on Saturday? An eighth minute penalty from Carlos Vela was one of two goals he would score before the referee blew for halftime, en route to a 3-0 win in the Champions League back in late April. Including that match, Vancouver have been outscored 7-2 in the opening 45 minutes.
Getting trounced in Los Angeles has been a trend for Vancouver, having allowed three or more goals in four of their seven visits. Making matters worse, their last six visits to BMO Stadium have seen them outscored 13-5 in the opening half of play. They’ve trailed at halftime in each of the last two, and in four of the last six. That trend continues on Saturday, as LAFC take advantage of a depleted Vancouver side early and often.  My best bet: LAFC 1H moneyline (+110 at bet365) Not intended for use in MA. Affiliate...
