These are our predicted sides as well as injury & suspension news for Sunday’s MLS match.
Vancouver Whitecaps will be looking for another win after the 1-3 CONCACAF Champions League triumph vs Inter Miami. We think that Caps should kick off with a 4-4-2 system for this one featuring Yohei Takaoka, Édier Ocampo, Tristan Blackmon, Ranko Veselinovic, Tate Johnson, Pedro Vite, Andres Cubas, Sebastian Berhalter, Ali Ahmed, Emmanuel Sabbi and Daniel Rios.
Jayden Nelson, Mathías Laborda, Sam Adekugbe and Ryan Gauld will be missing for Whitecaps gaffer Jesper Sørensen.
How Vancouver Whitecaps might line up to take on Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake come into this match following a 1-3 MLS win over San Diego FC in their last outing. It’s our belief that Claret and Cobalt seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Rafael Cabral, Sam Junqua, Luis Rivera, Philip Quinton, Alexandros Katranis, Braian Ojeda, Emeka Eneli, Zavier Gozo, Diego Luna, Diogo Gonçalves and Ariath Piol.
Salt Lake manager Pablo Mastroeni has multiple availability issues to deal with. Johnny Russell (Groin injury), Matthew Bell (Muscle injury), Kobi Henry (Muscle injury) and Zac MacMath (Back problems) will not be playing here.
