Prediction: 1-1
Charlotte
Vancouver Whitecaps will be aiming to kickstart their MLS campaign in great manner when they take on Charlotte in their opener. The Canadian outfit failed to impress in the CONCACAF Champions League defeat to Tigres, but they are still seen as favourites to win Sunday’s MLS game. Midfielder Mathias Laborda misses out through suspension, while new signing Fabrice Jean-Ian Picault should make his MLS debut against Charlotte.
The Crown, on the other hand, did well to beat New York City 1-0 in the opening match of their MLS campaign, but they face a tough challenge in the BC Place clash. A close encounter is on the cards in Canada and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils this time out. The likes of Tyger Smalls, Brandon Cambridge, Brandt Bronico, and Ben Bender should miss out 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.
