Team News: Vancouver Whitecaps
There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Vancouver Whitecaps gaffer Jesper Sørensen to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group. Ryan Gauld (Knee injury) is sidelined.
We think that Caps will possibly use the 5-4-1 formation, 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.
ℹ️
Team News: San Diego FC
San Diego FC boss Mikey Varas has some current player fitness concerns. Hamady Diop (Leg injury) and Andrés Reyes (Leg injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
We reckon that San Diego FC will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, going with 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.
🔮

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.
