Our prediction for this MLS match:
Vancouver Whitecaps and Sporting Kansas City take on each other at BC Place in what is expected to be an exciting MLS game. Vancouver impressed in a 6-2 win over Houston Dynamo and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Midfielder Ali Ahmed remains on the sidelines with a concussion, but he should be the only absentee in the Canadian outfit.
The Wizards, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Portland Timbers and Dallas. Sporting Kansas City, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Vancouver’s party at BC Place. Experienced defender Graham Zusi is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Johnny Russell, Tim Melia, William Agada, Kayden Pierre, and Kortne Thompson-Ford should miss out through injuries.
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.
