๐ Team News: Vancouver Whitecaps
Thereโs just one fitness concern for the Vancouver Whitecaps manager Vanni Sartini to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Ali Ahmed (Groin surgery) is sidelined. Mathรญas Laborda will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
We are thinking that Caps may well kick off with a 3-4-1-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Yohei Takaoka, Tristan Blackmon, Ranko Veselinovic, Belal Halbouni, Javain Brown, Andres Cubas, Alessandro Schรถpf, Luis Martins, Ryan Gauld, Brian White and Damir Kreilach.
๐ฐ Team News: Charlotte FC
Thanks to a completely injury-free group available for selection, the Charlotte FC manager Dean Smith doesnโt have any fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash.
Weโre of the thinking that Charlotte FC might elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Kristijan Kahlina, Nathan Byrne, Adilson Malanda, Andrew Privett, Jere Uronen, Ashley Westwood, Junior Urso, Kerwin Vargas, Scott Arfield, Brecht Dejaegere and Enzo Copetti.
๐ญ Prediction
In our opinion, Charlotte FC will really need to work well to breach the defence of this Vancouver Whitecaps lineup who we think should score one, at least.
Weโre therefore seeing a very even match with a 1-0 winning margin for Vancouver Whitecaps at the end of this one.
Letโs see.
