Draw odds: +240 – 26.0%
Vancouver Whitecaps odds: +140 – 40.0%
The odds in our Leon vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions indicate that it’s coach Larcamon’s boys who are the underdogs in this race at +180 (34.0%). Meanwhile, Vancouver Whitecaps are the expected winners with a staggering 40.0% win probability, but we don’t think the Canucks have the three points up for grabs at Estadio Leon, as the teams seem evenly matched to us. We hope to see a tight clash with our Leon or Draw betting tip succeeding at -125.
Leon vs Vancouver Whitecaps Lineups & Team News
Leon
Despite desperately hammering away on the 16th of July, Leon just couldn’t find Tigres UANL’s net. As a result, the game ended positively for the home team at Estadio Universitario – 1-0 in favor of Tigres UANL. However, 56.0% possession and 17 shots on target by the visitors convinced us that our Leon vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions should give the edge to coach Nicolas Larcamon’s troops.
Predicted lineup – Cota (GK), Hernandez, Tesillo, Frias, Barreiro, Moreno, Romero, Mena, Ambriz, Di Yorio & Davila
Vancouver Whitecaps
With eight victories, seven draws, and seven league losses, coach Sartini’s boys could have definitely done better in their 2023 Major League Soccer attempt. The Canucks scored 38 and conceded 32. That’s definitely a decent statistic to have. However, they have in-form Leon to face when they visit Mexico next, and that’s definitely not something the Italian manager is looking forward to.
Predicted lineup – Takaoka (GK), Veselinovic, Caicedo, Martins, Raposo, Schopf, Berhalter, Johnson, Cordova, Gauld & White
Player to Watch: Rodolfo Cota
In-form Rodolfo Cota is above everyone else in coach Nicolas Larcamon’s camp. The 36-year-old veteran is nearing the end of his professional career, but he surely wants to leave a mark in the Leagues Cup as well. He’ll have a good opportunity ahead of him to prove our Leon vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions right on Saturday. Rodolfo Cota made five crucial saves in the Tigres UANL battle a couple of days ago. Fan-favorite Cota has the required arsenal to cause an upset, and we are sure that’s exactly what he’ll go for.
