- 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 1.83
The Vancouver Whitecaps’ 3-0 loss to the LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions League was a hard blow for them. They couldn’t come back in the league as they drew 0-0 against Austin FC, lacking in offensive strength with few attacking opportunities.
Vancouver holds the 8th position in the Western Conference, winning just two out of eight games played. They focused too much on the continental tournament, and now that it’s out of their brains, they can start growing in the League.
It should be noted that the Whitecaps are a high-scoring team, with 11 goals, 8 of which were scored at home, where they don’t forfeit many goals, only conceding three.
Possible Lineup: (4-3-3): Yohei Takaoka, Javain Brown, Ranko Veselinovic, Tristan Blackmon, Luis Martins, Julian Gressel, Andres Cubas, Ali Ahmed, Brian White, Simon Becher, Ryan Gauld.
Betting On The Colorado Rapids SC
- 1XBet Spread: +1.5
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 4.1
The Colorado Rapids won just one game in the tournament despite being undefeated in their last five games, with four of those five results ending in draws. Colorado is gradually growing as a club, managing to improve its defense, but enhancing its offense is still an ongoing project.
Averagely, the Rapids shoot just three times per game, which is low in a league as offensive as the American League. In their past two matches, they managed to score, but they conceded the same number of goals in the 2-2 draw against Charlotte FC and the 1-1 draw against St. Louis FC.
Possible Lineup: (3-4-2-1): William Yarbrough, Lalas Abubakar, Andreas Maxso, Danny Wilson, Keegan Rosenberry, Bryan Acosta, Connor Ronan, Steven Beitashour, Max, Diego Rubio.

MatchPlug Prediction
Colorado Rapids won just one away game and conceded eight goals on the road, they’ve failed to maintain a clean sheet when they play on the road.
This will cost them against a strong home team which will likely score all three points in this Whitecaps VS Rapids matchup.
Final Prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps Moneyline.
