Prediction: 3-2
Houston Dynamo
Vancouver Whitecaps will be aiming to recover from a 2-1 loss to San Jose Earthquakes when they face Houston Dynamo at BC Place on Monday morning. Vancouver have been having their ups and downs of late, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Orange Crush in front of home fans. Edier Ocampo is banned for the hosts, while all Gauld, Veselinovic, and Adekugbe remain in the recovery room.
Houston Dynamo, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in the MLS, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to bet on the home side this time out. Boh Nelson Quinones and Andrew Tarbell are injured for the away team, while duo Segal – Sviatchenko is rated doubtful for the match. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer, Vancouver outplayed Houston 3-0.
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.
