Vancouver Whitecaps team news and form: Tremendous defensive work by Whitecaps

Coach Sartini is undoubtedly pleased by his defenders. They haven’t conceded a single goal in the last 270 minutes of soccer and we wonder if Veselinovic and his partners at the back will be able to crush the Quakes’ dreams too.

Predicted lineup: Takaoka (GK), Halbouni, Veselinovic, Blackmon, Schopf, Raposo, Priso, Berhalter, Laborda, Gauld & White

San Jose Earthquakes team news and form: Suspension issues for the Quakes’ manager

Coach Ian Russell won’t be able to count on Bruno Wilson this week. He earned himself a foolish red card in the last official game for San Jose Earthquakes and it is interesting to see who Russell will swap him with.

Predicted lineup: Yarbrough (GK), Akapo, Marie, Rodrigues, Costa, Tsakiris, Gruezo, Espinoza, Lopez, Pellegrino & Ebobisse

Player to watch: Brian White

White is the top goalscorer for coach Vanni Sartini this season. He scored 12 goals since the start of the season and we are convinced he is eager to go for 1st place in MLS’ goalscoring charts. Currently, Benteke of DC United holds first place, but White definitely has the right stuff to put pressure on the Belgian goalscorer.

Second player to watch: Ryan Gauld

Team captain Gauld is just as important to the Whitecaps as White. The 28-year-old captain is the leading creator for coach Sartini this season, as he supplied teammates with 11 assists thus far.
