Cruz Azul vs Vancouver Whitecaps Preview and Team News
Cruz Azul Team News
Cruz Azul and Vancouver Whitecaps meet each other in the final of the prestigious CONCACAF Champions Cup on Sunday, June 1. Both these teams have earned their spots in the final by virtue of being flawless in the stages leading up to it. However, things will get murky from now on, as only one of them will be able to make it and lift the trophy.
Azul will be without the services of Andres Montano, Gabriel Fernandez, and Mateo Levy for this game, as all three have been ruled out due to injuries.
Although they lost their last game 1-2 to CF America, Azul have been in fine form recently, and won the four games prior to that. Azul usually like to play with a three-man defence in which their wingbacks get added whenever the ball is lost.

While this hampers their style of football when they are without possession, they are known to be fiercely aggressive when moving into the final third, with the same wingbacks inverting themselves and posing a threat in the opposition’s box.
Coach Vincente Sanchez hopes that his wards do not feel much pressure, and being at home, make the most of all the chances coming their way.
Cruz Azul predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (3-4-2-1): Mier; Ditta, Lira, Piovi; Sánchez, Rodríguez, Faravelli, Rotondi; Rivero, Bogusz; Sepúlveda.
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
The Vancouver Whitecaps, one of the most intriguing teams in the MLS, are in exciting form and can be seen as one of the heavyweights in this game. Vancouver are ranked first in the MLS currently, and will have a lot of confidence playing Azul in the final.
They usually play with a 4-3-3 formation in which their fullbacks and wingers, similar to Azul, push forward to get into good positions and attack. Their wingers sometimes overload one side of the park to create space for their fellow attackers to move forward with the ball, and this tactic often wins them applause.
Hard fought point at home. Now, all eyes on Sunday.

In defence, Vancouver rely heavily on man-marking, but in this game, they may have to switch to zonal marking on the odd occasion.
Striker White will be the main player to watch, as he is known for being excellent when playing with his back to goal. Ryan Gauld is the only player unavailable for Vancouver in this match due to a knee injury.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Cruz Azul (4-3-3): Takaoka; Laborda, Blackmon, Veselinovic, Johnson; Sabbi, Priso, Berhalter; Sabbi, White, Rios.
Cruz Azul vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
- Pick: Cruz Azul to win
- Odds: -128 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Cruz Azul 2-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
Cruz Azul, playing at home, have a big advantage over their opponents, and we expect them to win this game. While Vancouver are also in a good run of form, they may not be able to take up the challenges sent their way by Azul.
Interestingly, Azul beat Tigres in the semifinal on their way to the final, whereas Vancouver dispatched Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami to earn this berth. This will be the first time these teams meet each other, and Azul will surely have an upper hand due to their stronger attacking and defensive units. Also, playing at home will be a considerable factor.
Cruz Azul vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score – no
- Odds: -141 (20Bet)
Both teams have an array of stars in their respective lineups, and we expect them to perform well in this match. We do not expect to see both teams scoring in this match (BTTS), as Azul may have an advantage over their visitors.
Sepulveda and Rodriguez will be the key players for the Azul side in this game, whereas for Vancouver, White will be the man tasked with leading his team towards the title.
However, it remains to be seen if Vancouver get on the scoresheet at all. We tip Azul to get on the scoresheet comfortably, most notably since they have seen BTTS in all of their last five matches.
