A big game is coming up between these two Western Conference teams. Do not take off and then we share the statistics of both teams in the MLS.

The last time these two teams met was on August 8, 2021 and on that occasion the match ended in a 1-1 draw at Dignity Health Sports Park. That confrontation was full of fouls, yellow cards, corner kicks and many goals that we hope will be repeated today.

LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps have met several times, of the last 5 games the Vancouver Whitecaps won twice, there was a draw and in the other 2 games the winner was LA Galaxy.

The Los Angeles team is already in the stadium and is ready for today's game.

Always & forever for the City of Angels 💙🤍💛 pic.twitter.com/e89lPAHnQs

These were the eleven players who started last game:
Jonathan Bond, Derrick Williams, Séga Coulibaly, Chase Gasper, Kelvin Leerdam, Gastón Brugman, Marky Delgado, Douglas Costa, Kevin Cabral, Dejan Joveljic and Javier Hernández.

Forward Lucas Cavallini (#9) is a key part of Vancouver's offense having scored a goal last game against the Houston Dynamo and is the team's leading scorer in the tournament with 8 goals in 19 games played. Another key player for the team is forward Cristián Dájome (#11) who is the team's top assistant with 3 assists in 21 games played and is a fundamental piece in generating dangerous plays for Vancouver. He also has scored two goals so we could also see him score in Saturday's game. Lastly, Ryan Gauld (#25) plays in the midfield position, he is the second highest scorer on the team, he has scored 3 goals during the tournament and has also had 2 assists. All three players are considered key to the Vancouver Whitecaps' offensive attack and will be of paramount importance to their victory.

The Vancouver Whitecaps did not have a great start to the season in Major League Soccer, they are in the middle of the table in the tournament. Until week 24 of the tournament they have a total of 30 points with 8 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. They are located in the eleventh position of the western conference and if they want to steal ninth place from the LA Galaxy, they must win the game. In their last MLS game they won 2-1 against Houston Dynamo FC. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.

The next three players are considered key to the LA Galaxy's offensive attack and any one of them is likely to score in the game against Sporting Kansas City. Mexican player Javier Hernández (#14) or better known as “El Chicharito” is the team's creative, his ability to control the ball and generate plays have been of great value to his team. He scored two goals in the last game, in 21 games played he has got 9 goals and one assist, this makes him the second highest scorer and the ninth highest assistant of the team. Forward Samuel Grandsir (#11) is another important on-court distributor, he is the team's biggest assistant, he has generated 3 assists in 12 games as a starter and 10 coming off the bench. Lastly, 22-year-old striker Dejan Joveljic (#99) is the team's top scorer with 9 goals in 21 games coming off the bench. They leave at his young age he has achieved a lot in the team, he is a very important substitute who wants to be a starter in the team and it is very likely that we will see him scoring in the game.

The Los Angeles team has had a great tournament so far in the MLS, after 9 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses, they have 30 points in the general table that puts them in ninth position in the Western Conference. They've had an amazing start to the season, hopefully they can keep up the same pace throughout the tournament and advance to the postseason. Their last game was on August 6, 2022, and resulted in a 4-2 loss against Sporting KC at Sporting Park, earning their 11th loss. They arrive as favorites to win this game and stay with the victory because of the incredible team they have and the good time they are going through.

Dignity Health Sports Park is located in the city of Carson, California and is known as the largest capacity soccer stadium in the United States. It will be the venue for this game, it has a capacity of 27,000 spectators, it was inaugurated on June 7, 2003 and it is the home of the Los Angeles Galaxy.
