Correct score prediction: Austin 2-0 Vancouver Whitecaps
Despite all odds, we believe Austin will beat the Whitecaps this week. A 2-0 score at Q2 Stadium shouldn’t actually surprise any of you, as Vancouver Whitecaps had too many issues securing a thrifty 1-0 win over obscure Pacific in the Canadian Championship game a few days ago.

*These Austin vs Vancouver Whitecaps odds are subject to change
The bookies had issues picking a favorite to win here. Austin are considered to be the expected winners at +157, but with only a 1.0% lead on the Whitecaps, perhaps a tie at +245 is the way to go here, as the two teams have a 26.0% chance of sharing the spoils.
Sebastian Driussi to score anytime also seems like a good alternative, as the Argentine attacking midfielder’s odds are valued at +180, giving him a 35.01% chance of sliding it past Vancouver Whitecaps’ shot-stopper.

Vancouver Whitecaps team news and form: Is this all the Whitecaps have got?
The narrow 1-0 victory over Pacific in the Canadian Championship game a few days ago is nothing to brag about. Coach Sartini’s boys were the better of the two teams on the pitch, but they shouldn’t have had so many difficulties defeating this lackluster side.

Player to watch: Sebastian Driussi
2022 Major League Soccer Top Goalscorer Driussi is the player to watch in our Austin vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions, as we expect to see more of him. He only scored five goals in 2024, which is a very poor record for a player of his caliber.
Second player to watch: Brian White
With 12 goals to his name, White is not only the top finisher for the visitors but also one of the most frequent scorers in MLS this season in general.
