Analysis:
All attentions will be turned to the BC Place stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on May 29, at 02:30 GMT, when Vancouver Whitecaps and Minnesota United battle it out in the MLS. The hosts are seeking to extend their lead, while a victory for the visitors would see them go up the rankings.
Special features:
Vancouver are unbeaten in 14 games in all competitions and seems poised to continue their impressive campaign. They have a lethal attack force and the best defense line in the MLS. Though their only defeat this season was in a home game, they followed with 3 consecutive wins and a draw, for a total of 5 wins, 1 draw, and a loss on the home soil. Additionally, the Whitecaps displayed outstanding football in the CONCACAF Championship Cup, beating Leonel Messi’s Inter Miami 1-3 in the 2nd leg of the semifinals.
After Minnesota’s disappointing performance in their last away match against Houston, this matchup may be a big challenge for them. Though they have beaten St. Louis twice, by 3-0 in the league, and 3-2 in the US Open Cup, before registering a 1-1 draw against Austin in the last round, they are yet to face a team of a big caliber like the Whitecaps. However, they are a good team with a decent attack and 2nd best defense, making them a fierce opponent.
Suggestion:
It has been a month since Vancouver Whitecaps visited and defeated Minnesota United by 1-3 at Allianz Field. With that result and the hosts’ good run, it is reasonable that the Whitecaps are considered the favorites by the bookies. Their victory is offered at @2.18, with the odds for the visitors currently at @3.04, and a draw.
With the visitors facing Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Championship Cup final on June 2, Jesper Sorensen will have to rest key players. However, they are still a better team and need to win this duel to boost their confidence in going to the cup final. That being said, we suggest registering to a bookmaker made for winners and bet on Vancouver Whitecaps to win this match.
