The Galaxy are coming off a 2-1 setback at home against the Seattle Sounders Saturday. Still, they have been money at home, going 4-1-0. They haven’t been nearly as sharp on the road, going 1-2-0 in three tries.
The Whitecaps are in the midst of a four-match losing skid but all were on the road. While Rio Tinto isn’t their ‘real’ home, it is during this COVID-19 pandemic. Vancouver has made the most of it, posting a respectable 2-1-0 record in Utah.

LA Galaxy 2, Vancouver Whitecaps 1
Money line (ML)
The GALAXY (+130) haven’t been as sharp on the road as at home, but the good news is that the Whitecaps are visitors themselves in their temporary Utah home.
This will play more like a neutral-site affair, and therefore L.A. clearly has the advantage as it’s just the better side.
