🗞️ Team News: Vancouver Whitecaps

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Vancouver Whitecaps manager Jesper Sørensen to contend with from of an almost fully healthy set of players. Ryan Gauld (Knee injury) is out of contention.

We are thinking that Caps may well kick off with a 4-3-3 system this time, beginning the first half with Yohei Takaoka, Édier Ocampo, Tristan Blackmon, Bjørn Inge Utvik, Sam Adekugbe, Pedro Vite, Andres Cubas, Sebastian Berhalter, Ali Ahmed, Brian White and Jayden Nelson.

🗞️ Team News: Minnesota United

Minnesota United boss Eric Ramsay has to choose a team with limited availability. Hassani Dotson (Meniscus injury) and Kipp Keller (Hamstring injury) miss out here.

From our viewpoint, Loons could decide to make use of a 3-4-2-1 system, choosing Dayne St. Clair, Jefferson Díaz, Michael Boxall, Nicolás Romero, Julian Gressel, Carlos Harvey, Wil Trapp, Anthony Markanich, Robin Lod, Joaquin Pereyra and Tani Oluwaseyi.

✨ Prediction

Minnesota United will really need to work well to score against this Vancouver Whitecaps outfit who we think should score one, at least.

Therefore, we predict a good tussle with a 1-0 win for Vancouver Whitecaps at the end of the 90.

A close call.
