Our prediction for this MLS match:
Vancouver Whitecaps and Minnesota United, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Western Conference, face each other at BC Place on Sunday morning. The Canadians have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet. Since Vancouver are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence, yet another low-scoring encounter is on the horizon. Sergio Cordova remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Loons, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-match winless run in the Major League Soccer. Since Minnesota looked solid at the back in a goalless draw with Dallas as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. All Mikael Marques, Ryen Jiba, and Bakaye Dibassy remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Minnesota United):
Based in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, Minnesota United are a professional soccer club that will compete in the Western Conference in the Major League Soccer from 2017. The Loons will make their MLS debut against Portland Timbers on March 4, 2017 and, no doubt, they have big ambitions for the forthcoming season.
Minnesota United are the sixth team to join MLS from a lower division and they will welcome their rivals at TCF Bank Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 52.525 and it was opened in September, 2009. Bill McGuire is the club’s owner and he is on a quest to turn Minnesota United into a top-table side in the Western Conference.
Adrian Heath will be in charge of the club in the 2017 season and it has to be noted that the English tactician used to train the likes of Manchester City, Everton, Aston Villa and Espanyol in the past. You should know that the club was founded on March 25, 2015.
