Prediction: 1-0
Toronto FC
There will be fireworks when Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC lock horns at BC Place in the Canadian derby. Vancouver aim to build on a 3-2 win over Portland Timbers and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against the Reds. Canada forward Ryan Raposo should return to the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against Portland Timbers, while both Brian White and Luis Martins remain in the recovery room.
The Reds, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Toronto and seeing that Vancouver are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on Vanni Sartini’s troops. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer the Whitecaps defeated the Reds. All Insigne, Petretta, Laryea, Johson, Gomis, and Servania are injured for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Lorenzo Insigne):
Born in Frattamaggiore, Naples on June 4, 1991, Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian footballer who plays for his hometown club Napoli in the Serie A. Insigne is a product of Olimpia Sant’Arpino football school, but he joined the Partenopei at the age of 15.
The diminutive attacker scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight on September 16, 2012 in a 3-1 win over Parma. Insigne, who played for the likes of Cavese, Foggia and Pescara on loan before returning to Naples, made his debut with the Italian national team on September 11, 2012 in the World Cup qualifier against Malta.
The Napoli forward scored his first ever goal for the Azzurri in a friendly against Argentina on August 14, 2013. His main position is left winger, but he is used as a second striker as well. Lorenzo Insigne has a contract with Napoli until June 30, 2022.
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.
