Our prediction for this MLS match:
Vancouver Whitecaps and Club de Foot Montreal square off against each other at Rio Tinto Stadium in an all-Canadian MLS clash. The start of the new season has been a mixed bag for Vancouver, who defeated Portland, shared the spoils with Toronto, while losing to Colorado Rapids. The Whitecaps aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, but they face an uphill task in Saturday’s football match.
Montreal, on the other hand, kicked off their 2021 MLS campaign with a 4-2 win over Toronto, with the team sharing the spoils with Nashville and Columbus in the previous two league fixtures. Wilfried Nancy’s troops failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Montreal, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team this time out.
