🗞️
Team News: Vancouver Whitecaps
There is just a single fitness concern for the Vancouver Whitecaps manager Jesper Sørensen to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Ryan Gauld (Knee injury) will miss out.
It’s our opinion that Caps will possibly line up in a 5-4-1 system, beginning the first half with Yohei Takaoka, Mathías Laborda, Ranko Veselinovic, Tristan Blackmon, Bjørn Inge Utvik, Édier Ocampo, Pedro Vite, Ralph Priso-Mbongue, Andres Cubas, Jean-Claude Ngando and Daniel Rios.
🗞️
Team News: San Diego FC
San Diego FC boss Mikey Varas has to choose a team with limited availability. Hamady Diop (Leg injury) and Andrés Reyes (Leg injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
It’s our belief that San Diego FC might begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of CJ dos Santos, Oscar Verhoeven, Christopher Mcvey, Ian Pilcher, Luca Bombino, A. Alvarado Jr, Jeppe Tverskov, Onni Valakari, Anders Dreyer, Marcus Ingvartsen and Alex Mighten.

Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, San Diego FC may not find it easy to break down this Vancouver Whitecaps side who we think might well just have the edge.
That’s why we have predicted a very even match with a 1-0 win for Vancouver Whitecaps at the end of the 90.
Should be an interesting one.
