It has been a below-par start to the new MLS season for the defending champions, and a sign of their issues has been evident over the last few matchdays, as the LA Galaxy come into this round without a win in three.
The Galaxy were last in action against San Jose, as Marco Reus netted in the final 20 minutes to salvage a point.
Vancouver come into this round in reliable form after winning last weekend against LAFC to maintain their spot in second in the Western Conference standings. You can find the odds and LA Galaxy vs. Vancouver picks here.

Y. Takaoka (GK); M. Laborda, R. Veselinovic, T. Blackmon, T. Johnson, J. Badwal, A. Cubas, P. Vite, E. Ocampo, D. Rios, E. Sabbi
LA Galaxy vs. Vancouver Picks
The Galaxy have struggled in the absence of Puig this season, and things could get worse before they get better.
Vancouver’s reliable form at the start of the campaign means that their chances of a playoff finish have been increased, and their strong defensive record could give them the platform to pick up maximum points in California for the second weekend running on Friday.
