Draw or Vancouver Whitecaps
At -153, our Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction has a 60.5% chance of becoming a success. There are plenty of injured players that Adrian Heath has to somehow replace but Minnesota United have the head-to-head advantage. With five victories for Minnesota United, two ties, and three Vancouver Whitecaps, the visitors will have to be at their lethal best if they want to record a first MLS win this season.
BTTS
Minnesota United are the home team for this match and it’ll be unwise to think coach Adrian Heath’s boys won’t score on Sunday. With that being said, we will further back up our Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions by saying that four of Adrian Heath’s key defenders are out injured. And if that’s not a good foundation stone for this prognosis, we don’t know what is.
Furthermore, the visitors themselves might be a tad tired after the CONCACAF Champions League clashes against Real Espana over the past two weeks so that’ll further make Minnesota United more likely to find the net.

Draw odds: +250 – 27.0%
Vancouver Whitecaps odds: +200 – 32.0%
According to BetMGM, Minnesota United have a 41.0% win probability at +132 and that’s enough to make them the favorites. However, this contradicts our top Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions and we’re sure that at +250, a draw is the most likely outcome on Sunday.
Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps Lineups & Team News
Minnesota United
Miguel Tapias’ 82nd-minute winner gave Minnesota United a much-needed win over favorites Colorado Rapids in the previous MLS fixture. Coach Adrian Heath’s boys certainly didn’t deserve the three points as they barely accumulated 38% possession in 90 minutes of soccer but soccer is not always a fair game and in this case, it was Colorado Rapids who were the ones who had to go home empty-handed.
Predicted lineup – Irwin (GK), Taylor, Kallman, Lawrence, Tapias, Valentin, Trapp, Rosales, Fragapane, Dotson & Amarilla
Vancouver Whitecaps
Juggling between tournaments is a task tailored for the most experienced of coaches and Vanni Sartini is certainly one who knows how to handle the pressure. Yes, his boys got pipped 3-2 by Real Espana in the CONCACAF Champions League game on the 16th of March but that was a sneaky move from the 46-year-old manager as he gave most of his youngsters a chance to shine which makes our Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions even safer as the key players are fresh and ready for action.
Predicted lineup – Takaoka (GK), Raposo, Blackmon, Veselinovic, Brown, Berhalter, Schopf, Gressel, Gauld, Dajome & White
Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Miguel Tapias
Four Minnesota United defenders are out injured and it’s up to Miguel Tapias to leap forward and fill in the gaps in the defense. The 26-year-old certainly has the potential to be one of the best defenders at coach Adrian Heath’s disposal but will he succeed in keeping a clean sheet for his team? According to our top Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions, that will not be the case on Sunday but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens at Allianz Field.
