Our prediction for this MLS match:
Austin FC
Match Time & Date:
18/08/2021
09:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Vancouver Whitecaps
Austin will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Dallas and Real Salt Lake when they take on Vancouver on Thursday morning. Josh Wolff’s troops have been struggling in front of goal of late, but the bookies still see them as favourites to win the midweek game. Defender Julio Cascante is banned for the match, while all Hoesen, Schoenfeld, Segura, and Sweat remain in the recovery room.
You should bear in mind that Austin are eyeing their third home win of the season. The Canadians, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous six league fixtures. Vancouver are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Texas, and, taking everything into account, we are positive that they will grab something from the match. You should know that both Cavallini and Gutierez are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Fredy Montero):
Born in Campo de la Cruz, Colombia on July 26, 1987, Fredy Montero is a pacey forward who plays for Vancouver Whitecaps in the Major League Soccer. Montero played for famous Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon from 2014 to 2016 and the Lions and during that period the Lions won Taca da Liga on two occasions and one Taca de Portugal trophy.
In 2019 he moved to Vancover Whitecaps, signing a permanent deal with the MLS club. Fredy Montero made his MLS debut in a 3-2 loss to Montreal Impact on March 3, 2019. As for his international career, the Vancouver footballer played his first match for the Colombia national team on May 9, 2007 in a 4-0 win over Panama.
The striker scored his first goal for los Cafeteros against Catalonia on December 29, 2008. Fredy Montero’s main position is second striker, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. His preferred foot is right and his contract with the Canadian outfit should expire in December, 2020.
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.
