Seattle Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction & Betting Tips - Major League Soccer

Prediction published on 25/06/2021, 05:25  by Nella Wagah in Major League Soccer Predictions

Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps are placed on opposite ends of the Western Conference in the MLS and will go here in the search for three points. Hosts Sounders are top of the table with 24 points while Whitecaps have seven points, in 12th place. Sounders are coming from back to back 2-1 wins over LA Galaxy, and most recently, Real Salt Lake. They are the only unbeaten side across the two conferences and having played a game less than second placed Sporting Kansas City, they’ll want to open up a seven-point gap. Sounders have seven wins in the 10 matches played and while they are the second best attacking side, they have the best defence across the two conferences, having conceded five goals. They’ve played six home matches in the league this season and won four, keeping four clean sheets in the process.

Vancouver Whitecaps have played nine times this season, and apart from the two wins in the opening four games, they’ve failed to win again. Actually, in the last five matches, they have lost in each of their last five and in the nine matches, they’ve lost six. In each of their last four matches, Whitecaps have conceded two or more goals while they’ve failed to score in three of their last seven matches. On only two occasions have they managed to score more than a goal in the opening nine league matches they’ve played. Their away run hasn’t been the best too, and this season, they’ve managed just one point in the five away matches they’ve played so far. This poor run stretches to last season; they have nine losses in their last 10 away MLS matches.
