Our prediction for this MLS match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Austin, Dallas will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they welcome Vancouver Whitecaps to their Toyota Stadium on Thursday morning. The Toros are eyeing their fourth home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Midfielders Jesus Jimenez and Tarik Scott are banned for the match, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Portland Timbers. Vancouver, though, continue with their habit of struggling on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Dallas this time out. Midfielder Max Anchor has yet to overcome a shoulder injury, but he should be the only absentee in 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.
