Our prediction for this MLS match:
St Louis City will be aiming to recover from a heavy 4-1 loss to Colorado Rapids when they take on Vancouver Whitecaps at their CITYPARK. St Louis City are not enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting in 12th place in the standings and they must be low on confidence ahead of the visit of Vancouver. First-choice goalkeeper Roman Burki limped off with injury at the weekend, with Benjamin Lundt likely to step up.
The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both St Louis City and Minnesota United, while sharing the spoils with CF Montreal. Given St Louis City’s anything but good form, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s showdown. All Pedro Vite, Tristan Blackmon, and Sam Adekugbe are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
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.
