Our prediction for this MLS match:
After rolling over Sporting Kansas City 4-0, St Louis City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Vancouver Whitecaps in a highly-anticipated MLS game. St Louis City quickly bounced back from a 1-0 defeat to Chicago Fire, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. John Nelson is back from suspension, while all Rasmus Alm, Joao Klauss, and Joakim Nilsson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Canadians, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Seattle Sounders, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the newcomers. As for the away team, defender Ranko Veselinovic is out of contention with personal reasons, but Vanni Sartini has no fresh injury worries.
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.
