Vancouver Whitecaps have been in brilliant form in the last 10 outings in the MLS. In this run, they have 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 defeat. They have amassed 23 points and lead the Western Conference, five points ahead of their closest rivals, the Portland Timbers, with 18 points.
Jesper Sørensen and his charges have underscored their sterling form in the early parts of the season with two wins, home and away, against title favorites Inter Miami. Last time out, Vancouver Whitecaps beat Inter Miami 1-3 at the Chase Stadium and completed a stunning 1-5 aggregate win to make it into the Concacaf Champions Cup final.

The only defeat they have suffered came in the 1-3 reverse at home to Chicago. They have responded impressively after this defeat with three wins and two draws, including the impressive 1-3 win at Minnesota last time they were in MLS action.
Four injuries will have Jesper Sørensen scratching his head; the absentees include Ryan Gauld, Sam Adekugbe, Mathías Laborda, and Jayden Nelson. However, Vancouver Whitecaps have shown adaptability and demonstrated their strength in depth so far this season.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Real Salt Lake (4-4-2): Takaoka; Johnson, Veselinović, Blackmon, Ocampo; Ahmed, Berhalter, Cubas, Vite; White, Sabbi.
Real Salt Lake Team News
Real Salt Lake have had an average start to the MLS season so far. In the opening 10 rounds of fixtures, they have 4 wins, 0 draws, and 6 defeats. They have scored 11 goals while conceding 15. They have hauled 12 points and sit 10th on the table, 11 points behind their opponents on Saturday, Vancouver Whitecaps.
Three defeats and two wins in their last five outings in the MLS sum up their inconsistency so far this season. In this run, they have kept just 1 clean sheet and conceded six times while scoring 6 goals.

The manager, Pablo Mastroeni, also has to deal with four injuries ahead of the trip to Vancouver. They will be without Zac MacMath, Matthew Bell, Kobi Henry, and Johnny Russel. Hidalgo will be suspended after he was sent off in their 1-3 win against San Diego FC last time out.
The real challenge for Pablo Mastroeni is getting his side to be consistent. This was especially highlighted by their 0-1 loss at home to the bottom side, Toronto.
Real Salt Lake predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (4-2-3-1): Cabral; Katranis, Vera, Quinton, Agada; Eneli, Ojeda; Goncalves, Luna, Gozo; Piol.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
- Pick: Vancouver Whitecaps
- Odds: -176 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 Real Salt Lake
Vancouver Whitecaps will have the home advantage at BC Place when they host Real Salt Lake. They are coming off the high of making it into the final of the CONCACAF Champions Cup at the expense of Inter Miami; they will be motivated and confident of getting the three points on offer on Saturday.
In contrast, Real Salt Lake have been inconsistent in recent matches. Blowing hot and cold means that they have been unable to gather some momentum to drive them higher on the table.
My call here is that Vancouver Whitecaps have the edge in this match, and they will have enough to win the three points comfortably.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Real Salt Lake Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Vancouver Whitecaps to Score in both halves – Yes
- Odds: +150 (20Bet)
Vancouver Whitecaps have shown a cutting edge this season; they have scored 20 goals while conceding just 7 in 10 matches. Their dynamism in attack will make them a real danger for the inconsistent Real Salt Lake defensive phase.
The fact that they are playing in front of the home supporters means that their menacing attack will be even more bolstered.
Vancouver Whitecaps will dominate the ball, dictate the tempo, and leverage these advantages to find the back of the net in both halves.
