Vancouver is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches. They are currently sitting in 2nd place in the entire MLS this season at 4-1-1, but they also have a match in hand of the only team ahead of them so Vancouver has really been the best team in the MLS in their first 6 matches. Their attack has been on fire recently as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 2 as well as 4 of their last 5 matches, and they have scored 7 goals in their last 2 matches alone. They are also coming off of a match which they kept a clean sheet in. When playing at home, they have been much better recently as they have won their last 2 straight matches there, outscoring their opponents 7-2 in those 2 matches. They are going up against an LA Galaxy side that has also been in good form in their recent matches, but they are coming off of a loss in their last match. They have been in great form to start the season but their defense has still been conceding a lot of goals as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches. When playing away from home, they have been much worse as they have just 1 win in their last 3 matches and are coming off of a 2-1 loss to LAFC in their last match. LA Galaxy has been in much better form to start the season as they were awful last season, but they have been overachieving in these first few matches and Vancouver is a team that will give them trouble as they have lost 3 of their last 4 meetings with no wins in that span. Vancouver will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
