Vancouver Whitecaps vs Sporting Kansas City tips and predictions

Intriguing clash in MLS

Vancouver Whitecaps to win. Essentially there's not enough value in the Sporting Kansas City odds to get excited about.

The hosts are going into the match with 5 home wins from their last 6.

These home players have enjoyed a purple patch on their own turf. Vancouver Whitecaps scored two or more goals in 5 of their recent 7 home matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. At the back they've conceded no more than once in 11 of their last 13 games.

In front of goal the visitors have been disappointing. They've been goalless in 3 of their last 5 away matches. While the stats imply their recent finishing might not have been clinical, they will surely have made improvements for this match. Despite these stats suggesting they are struggling to find form, if Sporting Kansas City come out motivated, then all bets are off.

In their last home match Vancouver Whitecaps thumped San Jose Earthquakes, ultimately winning 3-0.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the quickest out of the blocks. The sportsbooks have forecasted goals at both ends of the park as they could be well matched. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense on this occasion.
