Prediction: 3-0
Vancouver Whitecaps
Los Angeles will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Portland Timbers when they take on Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday morning. Los Angeles aim to stay in the title race, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Vancouver. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Mexico international Carlos Vela, who has netted three goals so far this season.
Midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye is on international duty with Canada, while Ghana international Kwadwo Opoku remains on the sidelines through injury. The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, sit in the bottom of the table, and given their poor away record in the 2021 MLS season, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Attacker Lucas Cavallini and goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau represent Canada at the 2021 Gold Cup.
Highlighted Player (Andy Najar):
Andy Najar is a Honduras footballer who plays for both Anderlecht and the Honduras national team. Najar is a product of D.C. United’s youth academy and it has to be noted that he was named in the USSF Development Academy starting XI in 2009. The Honduras player made his senior debut for D.C. United on March 27, 2010 in a game against Kansas City Wizards.
Andy Najar scored his first professional goal one month later in a match against Dallas. Najar impressed in the 2010 MLS season and, as a result, he received the Rookie of the Year award. Speaking of his international career, Andy Najar made his Honduras debut on September 3, 2011, coming as a substitute in a friendly game against Colombia.
The right-footed winger (full-back) represented Honduras at the 2012 Olympics and he scored his first goal for los Catrachos against Costa Rica in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup knockout stages. Andy Najar was born on March 16, 1993 in Choluteca.
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.
