Prediction: 2-3
New York City
Vancouver Whitecaps and New York City take on each other at BC Place in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Vancouver suffered a massive 4-0 loss to Columbus in their opener, meaning that they are eager to give fans something to cheer about. Jake Nerwinski is banned for the match, while Brian White is a major doubt. Caio Alexandre is definitely out of contention with injury.
The Blue Pigeons, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy. New York City will be without Anton Tinnerholm in Sunday’s clash, but he is the only absentee in the away side. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Vancouver Whitecaps’ display in the season opener was anything but promising. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer New York City defeated Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1.

Highlighted Team (New York City):
New York City are an American soccer club and they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2015. The Pigeons play their home games at Yankee Stadium and they are the second club in New York after the New York Red Bulls.
