Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
We doubt Denis Bouanga will be among the starters in the match against the Whitecaps. After all, why should coach Cherundolo risk the health of his most important player before the start of the difficult MLS Cup games? However, the Gabonese will surely make an appearance in the second half. A few minutes is all he needs to find the Whitecaps’ net.
Second player to watch: Cristian Olivera
The second player to watch in our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Los Angeles predictions is Olivera. He is the 3rd-best finisher for the visitors, with six goals scored since the start of the season.
