Under 0.5 Colorado Rapids Goals
Two things work tremendously in favor of our key Vancouver Whitecaps vs Colorado Rapids predictions.
First of all, coach Vanni Sartini’s side has the second-best defensive tally in the Western Conference with barely seven goals conceded. Los Angeles’ backline is the only one with more impressive numbers.
Second of all, Colorado Rapids certainly lack attacking punch. Coach Robin Fraser does everything so that his team might score more frequently but so far, it doesn’t seem like it’s enough. Colorado Rapids have barely scored six goals since the season began back in February.
Vancouver Whitecaps to Win
This Vancouver Whitecaps vs Colorado Rapids prediction is a continuation of the previous one. We’ll once again remind you of how poorly Robin Fraser’s boys attack this season. They barely had two shots on target in one of their last away games – the one versus lackluster Sporting Kansas City on the 9th of April. How are they supposed to cope with the pressure against the tremendous Vancouver Whitecaps defense?
Vanni Sartini’s boys also have a head-to-head advantage over Colorado Rapids. The last 10 games finished with four Whitecaps victories, three for Colorado Rapids, and three draws. And it’s not like Robin Fraser has an impressive record over this opponent. His tally consists of two victories, four draws, and three losses.

Vancouver Whitecaps odds: -128 – 55.0%
Draw odds: +285 – 25.0%
Colorado Rapids odds: +345 – 20.0%
It’s no wonder why Vancouver Whitecaps are the bookies’ expected winners at -128 (55.0%). Colorado Rapids’ odds at +345 barely amount to a 20.0% chance of success while a draw is valued at +285 (25.0%).
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Colorado Rapids Lineups & Team News
Vancouver Whitecaps
In contrast to their position in the Western Conference’s ranking, Vancouver Whitecaps actually have the 2nd-best defensive line in the business. The only team with a sturdier backline is the 2022 MLS winners Los Angeles. However, with barely seven goals conceded, coach Vanni Sartini’s boys are proving to be one hard nut to crack.
Predicted lineup – Takaoka (GK), Martins, Veselinovic, Blackmon, Brown, Ahmed, Cubas, Gressel, Gauld, White & Becher
Colorado Rapids
As we stated earlier in our Vancouver Whitecaps vs Colorado Rapids predictions, Robin Fraser’s boys just can’t find the net. Colorado Rapids’ attacking prowess is nonexistent as the team barely scored six goals since the start of the season. It’s no wonder why the team is suffering orbiting around the bottom of the Western Conference with the likes of Sporting Kansas City and LA Galaxy.
Predicted lineup – Yarbrough (GK), Abubakar, Wilson, Maxso, Beitashour, Ronan, Acosta, Rosenberry, Rubio, Max & Lewis

Player to Watch: Julian Gressel
Julian Gressel might not be the most frequent goalscorer but he’s the sort of player who can briefly be described as the architect on your team. 29-year-old Gressel did score once this season but as we said, his preferences are oriented toward orchestrating the attacks.
That’s why the midfielder has four assists this season and is the leading Vancouver Whitecaps assists provider in general. No other player comes remotely close to his tally and we’re sure coach Vanni Sartini will once again give him a chance in the starting XI.
