Vancouver Whitecaps
Austin will try to recover from a heavy 3-0 loss to Los Angeles FC when they take on Vancouver Whitecaps at Q2 Stadium. Austin suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous three league fixtures. Experienced USA forward Gyasi Zardes is widely expected to return to the starting XI, whereas defender Julio Cascante has yet to overcome a groin problem.
The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Montreal and Portland, but seeing that they often struggle on the travels, home win should be considered. Paraguay midfielder Andres Cubas has joined the likes of Alessandro Schopf, Sergio Cordova, and Cristian Gutierrez in the recovery room. In their last meeting at the venue Austin defeated Vancouver 3-0, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts.
Highlighted Team (Vancouver Whitecaps):
Vancouver Whitecaps are yet another Canadian side that compete in Major League Soccer. Vancouver began play in the USA top flight in 2011 and one year later they became the first Canadian outfit to book their place in the MLS Cup play-offs. However, star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy proved to be a big catch for the Whitecaps in the knockout round. Vancouver, though, did remarkably well to win the Canadian Championship in 2015, with the team beating Montreal Impact in the title game.
In 2016 they made it to the final of the tournament as well, but Toronto FC eventually won the trophy. The Whitecaps are owned by Greg Kerfoot, Steve Luczo, Jeff Mallett and Steve Steve Nash, the former NBA star, and they play their home matches at BC Place. Speaking of MLS games, the capacity of the venue is 22.120 and you should know that the stadium was opened back in 1983. The Caps wear white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is blue.
