Vancouver Whitecaps vs Austin FC Preview and Team News
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
A battle between the first and fourth-ranked sides of the MLS will take place when Vancouver Whitecaps host Austin FC on Saturday.
Vancouver have played seven games so far this season and lead the charts with 16 points to their name. However, their performance in the final third has not been at its best of late, as can be seen by the fact that they have scored just 5 goals in their last 5 matches.

Their defenders, however, have done their job well, which can be gauged by the fact that they have kept the most clean sheets in the competition (4).
In this game against Austin, Vancouver will be stretched till the end, and they will need every bit of their last resources to emerge on top by the end of the evening.
However, they have quite a few injuries in their ranks, and this will hurt them deeply. The likes of Bjorn Utvik, Jayden Nelson, Mathias Laborda, Ryan Gauld and Sam Adegukbe will all be ruled out of this game, and Vancouver will have to look at other options on the bench.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Austin FC (4-3-3): Takaoka; Laborda, Veselinovic, Blackmon, Ocampo; Berhalter, Cubas, Ngando; Vite, White, Ahmed.
Austin FC Team News
Austin FC, having drawn with Portland Timbers in their last game, will hope that they are able to climb up in the league table.
While they are currently ranked fourth, Austin will hope to reduce the gap between themselves and Vancouver, who currently sit on top of the table.
Austin have not done much better than their opponents in the final third in recent games – they have scored 4 goals in their last 5 matches.

They have also kept four clean sheets in this competition, which is the joint-highest alongside Vancouver. Brandon Vazquez will be the player to watch out for the most in this game, and someone whom Vancouver will have to mark tightly. Vazquez has the most shots on target per match for Austin FC (1.3).
Unlike Vancouver, Austin do not have many injuries in their squad, with only Diego Rubio and Mikkel Desler expected to be ruled out with hamstring injuries.
Austin FC predicted lineup vs Portland Timbers (4-4-2): Stuver; Gallagher, Svatok, Hines-Ike, Biro; Wolff, Sabovic, Pereira, Sanchez; Vazquez, Uzuni.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Austin FC Prediction
- Pick: Vancouver to either win or draw
- Odds: -476 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps vs Austin FC
Vancouver have an advantage over their opponents in this game, and we expect them to either win or draw.
They will rely on their supporters to create an atmosphere in which Austin struggle to come into their own, and this will, in turn, allow them to pass the ball around without too much of pressure.
Vancouver have also won five out of the eight matches played between the two teams in the past. At home, Vancouver have never been beaten by Austin in the past, winning three and drawing one match.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Austin FC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
- Odds: -222 (20Bet)
A total of over 2 goals will be expected in this game since both teams boast of attackers who can wreak havoc in the opposition ranks.
Vancouver have a lot of players who know how to handle pressure, and in turn, make it work in their favour.
For Austin, although recent goalscoring form does not suggest that their attackers are fine-tuned, they will be expected to get turned on for this match.
The attackers from both teams have enough idea to create their own designs to beat the marking zones of opposition defenders, and that will allow them to score at least over two goals in this match.
