Betting on Vancouver Whitecaps
The Whitecaps return home licking their wounds after being dismantled 5-0 by Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Final. That result was a serious blow, but they’ve been tough to beat at BC Place in MLS play this season. Vancouver’s strength lies in their high press and quick transitions, often spearheaded by Ryan Gauld and Brian White, especially in front of their home crowd.
Despite the continental embarrassment, Jesper Sorensen’s men have lost just once in their last six MLS games at home. They’ll be looking to channel the pain of Mexico City into a response, and this fixture provides a perfect chance to do that against a regional rival.
Betting on Seattle Sounders
Seattle, for their part, also comes into this one off the back of a disappointment, losing 3-1 at home to Minnesota. That was another frustrating outing in a patchy season for Brian Schmetzer’s team. But if there’s one thing you can usually rely on, it’s the Sounders’ ability to perform away from home.
With Jordan Morris and Léo Chú offering pace on the break, Seattle remains a threat on the road. They’ve scored in four of their last five away games and will be keen to repeat last season’s 3-0 win at this venue. But Vancouver’s improvement since then makes that a taller order this time around.
