Vancouver has never won a match at Banc of California Stadium (D3 L2), though the Whitecaps drew both visits last season after losing the previous two games by a combined score of 12-1.
Los Angeles FC has tied the best three-match start to a season in club history with seven points (W2 D1), matching the total from 2019. LAFC has lost only one of its last 10 matches (W5 D4), but that defeat, a 5-2 loss at Colorado on Decision Day, cost the team a chance to make the playoffs.
The Whitecaps, with one point through three games, have had a worse start to a season only once in MLS, losing their first three matches in 2019. Including its playoff loss at Kansas City, the Whitecaps are winless in six straight matches dating back to the end of last season (D3 L3).
Los Angeles FC has scored in 27 straight home matches dating back to a 2-0 loss to the Galaxy in August 2020. The 27-game run is not just a club record, but also the longest active streak in MLS and the eighth-longest in MLS history (including playoffs).
Lucas Cavallini scored Vancouver’s first goal of the season in the defeat to Houston on Saturday, his first MLS goal since July 4, 2021. The goal ended a 13-match run without scoring for Cavallini (including playoffs), his longest run of appearances without a goal in his MLS career.
