The leaders of the Western Conference were previously doing a good job of getting back on track, winning two out of two following that frustrating home defeat to the Houston Dynamo, but they were once again knocked off stride at the weekend, going down to St. Louis City, again in front of a home crowd. This game against a Galaxy team that hasn't won all that often away from home does at least present Jesper Sorensen's men with a decent chance to bounce back.
Let's keep it nice and simple here. 'Both Teams to Score' rates as a decent pick at -149. Neither side has looked defensively sound of late, but you certainly wouldn't say that either team has a habit of misfiring in their respective home and away games, leaving the odds on offer at the time of writing to look a little too big. After all, when they met earlier in the season, both teams found the net.

Our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Los Angeles Galaxy Prediction
On paper, this is definitely a very winnable game for the hosts, but their recent defensive efforts do not point towards them winning this without keeping a clean sheet, let's be honest. They've shown more than enough to suggest that they'll hurt a weak Galaxy defense, but can they keep it tight? Probably not, especially as the visitors have a strong scoring record on the road.
As the stats above suggest, a game where both teams find the net appears rather likely, a little more likely than odds of -149 would have us believe. A more accurate price would be -175.
