Vancouver Whitecaps vs Los Angeles FC
The Vancouver Whitecaps will face Los Angeles FC this Friday at 21:00 hours Peru time (02:00 GMT) at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver for Matchday 7 of the MLS. Peruvian Yordy Reyna could get some minutes in this match.
Yordy Reyna's Recovery
Yordy Reyna has been recovering from an injury suffered weeks ago, which kept him out of the last MLS matches. Despite this, it is estimated that the Peruvian is already in good condition to be called up for this important match in order to secure a spot in the top positions of the tournament.
Vancouver Whitecaps' Position
Vancouver Whitecaps are currently in second position in the table with 10 points, three behind the leader, Sporting Kansas City. The team has achieved three wins and one draw in seven matches, making them the clear favorites to win this Friday. Furthermore, Reyna's team has remained unbeaten in 11 matches so far and they ensure that they will extend their good streak against Los Angeles FC.
Los Angeles FC's Weak Form
On the other hand, the visiting team is going through a bad form in this part of the MLS, as they have only won two matches in four games. They also come into this match after two consecutive losses, 4-3 against Los Angeles Galaxy and 5-0 against Atlanta United. Nine goals conceded in two matches highlight a team with little defensive strength.
Possible Absences for Vancouver Whitecaps
Aside from Yordy Reyna, the local team could also be missing Canadians Henry and Levis, as well as American player Hurtado, who have all suffered an injury with no fixed recovery date yet.
Important Match for Vancouver
A great match awaits Vancouver this Friday, where the home team can climb to the top of the table and leave Los Angeles FC with few chances in the MLS.
Possible Lineups
Vancouver Whitecaps: Marinovic, Nerwinski, Waston, Aja Livchich, De Jong, Juárez, Felipe, Mezquida, Davies, Kamara, Ibini-Isei.
