San Diego vs Vancouver Whitecaps Preview and Team News
San Diego Team News
There’s not much separating the two clubs currently, as San Diego sit atop the Western Conference table, while Vancouver trail close behind in second place. However, the Californian side may be without several key players in the upcoming clash, including Anisse Saidi, Patrick McNair, Anibal Godoy, Marcus Ingvartsen, and William Kumado.
The team have surprised most of their opponents in the MLS this season with their fluid counter-attacking style, and more of the same will be expected in this encounter.

San Diego have won three of their last five outings and scored a total of 13 goals. Their defenders, however, haven’t been in good shape, as they’ve conceded 10 goals during that run.
Their lack of defensive cohesion became apparent in their recent 0-1 loss to Toronto, in which a mistake inside the box led to a penalty that ultimately decided the match. They won just 54% of the tackles in that game and made only 11 interceptions, one block, and 14 clearances, despite keeping 70% possession.
San Diego predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (4-3-3): Sisniega; Verhoeven, McVey, Pilcher, Negri; Valakari, De la Torre, Tverskov; Dreyer, Angel, Lozano.
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
The Vancouver Whitecaps currently sit second in the league table. They come into this game on the back of a whopping 3-0 win over the Houston Dynamo, marking their second victory in their last three matches.
In that encounter, they showed plenty of pace on the ball and focused on crossing and lobbing it into the final third. They also completed an impressive 87% of their passes. Despite maintaining just 41% possession, Vancouver were clinical in front of goal, taking 12 shots, with seven on target and five classified as big chances.
Houston, we have a problem… 😏

Much of the credit goes to attacker Brian White, one of the top MLS scorers this season with 11 goals and an xG of 9.12.
In the clash against San Diego, the team will be without the services of Tristan Blackmon, Ali Ahmed, Ryan Gauld, and Sam Adekugbe, all of whom have been sidelined with injuries.
Vancouver rely heavily on the wings, overloading one side when needed and then pushing their fullbacks forward in search of goals. In defense, they employ a zonal marking system that places a lot of emphasis on a high line.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs San Diego (4-3-3): Takaoka; Laborda, Veselinovic, Utvik, Johnson; Berhalter, Priso-Mbongue, Sabbi; Ocampo, White, Rios.
San Diego vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
- Pick: San Diego to win
- Odds: -127 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: San Diego 2-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
San Diego have an advantage over their opponents. Their all-out attacking approach makes them difficult to pin down in the defensive zone. They’re also ranked higher than Vancouver in the standings, which showcases their longevity in the league this season.
When these teams last met, in June earlier this year, San Diego beat the Whitecaps 5-3. The hosts’ pressing style, as well as their quick counter-attacking tactics, should also serve them well in the upcoming clash.
San Diego vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: San Diego to score the first goal
- Odds: -185 (20Bet)
We expect San Diego to score the opening goal of this match, mainly because their attackers have been in red-hot form. The home team like to start most of their outings on the front foot, putting their opponents under pressure with their quick passing between the lines. While this passing begins from midfield, it eventually reaches their attackers in the final third, finding weighted passes that can be converted into goals. San Diego have also scored the first goal in three of their last five fixtures.
