Prediction: 1-1
Seattle Sounders
Following a 1-1 draw with Portland Timbers, Vancouver Whitecaps will look to get back on course in MLS when they take on Seattle Sounders on Thursday. The Canadians are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run and a triumph over Seattle will see them retain their spot in top seven. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Scotland midfielder Ryan Gauld remains in the recovery room.
The Sounders, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Houston Dynamo. Vancouver, though, are tough to beat in Canada and that is the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. As for the away team, both Chu and Ruidiaz are major doubts, while Joao Paulo has yet to overcome a calf injury. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
Highlighted Player (Albert Rusnak):
Born in Vyskov, Czech Republic on July 7, 1994, Slovakia international Albert Rusnak began his youth career in KAC Kosice. In 1997 he moved to MFK Kosice where he was talent-spotted by Manchester City scouts. However, he did not see any game action for the Citizens in the Premier League as he was immediately loaned to Oldham City.
After making only two appearances for the Latics, the Slovak moved to Birmingham City in 2014. After ending his loan spell with Cambuur, Albert Rusnak moved to FC Groningen in 2015 and it has to be noted that he scored nine goals in 61 appearances for the Dutch club in the Eredivisie.
In the winter of 2017 Rusnak joined MLS club Real Salt Lake for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, Albert Rusnak made his debut with the Slovakia national team on November 15, 2016 in a goalless draw with Austria. His father, also called Albert Rusnak, used to play football as well.
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.
