Sporting KC odds: -109 – 51.0%
Draw odds: +275 – 26.0%
Vancouver Whitecaps odds: +280 – 25.0%
Under 8.5 Corners at +108 is quite an appetizing Sporting KC vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction, isn’t it? There’s a 48.08% chance that we will get to see the two teams try their luck with nine or more corner kicks. Furthermore, a Sporting KC win is priced at -109. This means that it’s coach Vermes’ boys who are the expected winners ahead of matchday 22.
Sporting KC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Lineups & Team News
Sporting KC
Coach Peter Vermes’ side is the only one that has played the full 21 fixtures thus far. Seeing as the team is ranking 11th, we can safely say that things aren’t going well for the Kansas City-based club. It wouldn’t take long before lackluster LA Galaxy or Minnesota United surpassed Sporting KC in the ranking.
Predicted lineup – McIntosh (GK), Leibold, Fontas, Castellanos, Davis, Radoja, Walter, Thommy, Salloi, Russel & Pulido
Vancouver Whitecaps
Our first Sporting KC vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction is in favor of the Canucks. And how could it not be? Coach Sartini is feeling quite comfortable when facing rival Vermes and his Sporting KC. Vancouver Whitecaps even managed to crush 2022 MLS winners LAFC in the previous round of Major League Soccer.
Predicted lineup – Takaoka (GK), Martins, Veselinovic, Blackmon, Laborda, Cubas, Schopf, Berhalter, Vite, Gauld & White
Player to Watch: Ryan Gauld
Ryan Gauld isn’t Vancouver Whitecaps’ top scorer. Brian White is. Nor is he the best creator. Julian Gressel has five assists. However, with four goals and four assists in the 2023 MLS campaign, Ryan Gauld is the 2nd-best player in both categories.
Coach Vanni Sartini is an experienced manager, and he knows that if something isn’t broken, you simply don’t fix it. Ryan Gauld is expected to be the starting attacking midfielder for the visitors on Sunday, and seeing as he scored a lovely 63rd-minute winner against LAFC last week, we are convinced that our Sporting KC vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions are safe.
