Team News: Vancouver Whitecaps
There is just a single fitness concern for the Vancouver Whitecaps manager Jesper Sørensen to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Ryan Gauld (Knee injury) won’t play.
In our view, Caps will possibly line up in a 4-3-3 system with Yohei Takaoka, Mathías Laborda, Ranko Veselinovic, Bjørn Inge Utvik, Tate Johnson, Sebastian Berhalter, Andres Cubas, Jean-Claude Ngando, Emmanuel Sabbi, Daniel Rios and Jayden Nelson.
ℹ️
Team News: Seattle Sounders FC
Seattle Sounders FC manager Brian Schmetzer has to currently contend with reduced team options. Yeimar Gómez Andrade (Muscle injury), Jordan Morris (unknown injury), Paul Arriola (Cruciate ligament tear) and Kee-hee Kim (Calf injury) are not ready for selection.
We reckon that The Sounders will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Stefan Frei, Alex Roldan, Stuart Hawkins, Jon Bell, Nouhou Tolo, Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Paul Rothrock, Albert Rusnák, Ryan Kent and Jesús Ferreira.
🔮
Prediction
We feel that over the course of the game, Vancouver Whitecaps will have their work cut out to break down this Seattle Sounders FC lineup who we think might score at least once to gain the upper hand.
We’re therefore predicting a very even contest with a 0-1 victory for Seattle Sounders FC at the conclusion of the game.
