Vancouver Whitecaps team news and form: Visitors with a taste for 2nd place
Coach Vanni Sartini undoubtedly wants to see his team climb all the way to 2nd place. To do so, he and his players will have to disprove our key Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions. There’s only a three-point gap between the visitors and LAFC, which might make the tension a bit too much for Sartini’s players to handle.

Player to watch: Ibrahim Aliyu
Seeing as Aliyu is the top goalscorer for his team, we believe adding him as the player to watch in our Houston Dynamo vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction was the right call. Since the start of the season, he managed to score a total of six goals since the start of the season.
Second player to watch: Amine Bassi
With seven assists since the start of the campaign, Bassi is the leading creator for his team. The only other Houston Dynamo player that comes remotely close to Bassi is Aliyu, with four assists so far.
