Our prediction for this MLS match:
Vancouver Whitecaps will try to make amends for back-to-back defeats to New England Revolution and Portland Timbers when they take on St Louis City on Sunday morning. The Canadian outfit aim to stay in the playoffs berth and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against St Louis City. Bear in mind, though, that Austria midfielder Alessandro Schopf serves a one-game ban.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their eight-tame winless run in all competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last meeting at the venue Vancouver Whitecaps defeated St Louis City 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. As for the away team, midfielder Kyle Hiebert is on international duty, while the likes of Christian Olivares, Celio Pompeu, Joakim Nilsson, Rasmus Alm, and Tomas Ostrak miss out with injuries.
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.
