Vancouver Whitecaps vs Seattle Sounders Preview and Team News
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
The 18th round of Major League Soccer will witness the Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle Sounders taking each other on. Vancouver, who lost their last game 0-5 to Cruz Azul, will be hungry to turn their fortunes around. Currently, they sit atop the Western Conference with 32 points, although San Diego FC are slowly closing in.
Vancouver like to play in a 4-3-3 formation in which attacker Brian White is the man to keep an eye out for. Most importantly, they prefer a consistent possession-based style of football that frowns upon long and wayward passes. White has already scored ten goals in the MLS this season, accounting for a significant portion of Vancouver’s 27-goal tally.
However, the team have had a rough patch lately, highlighted by their inability to find the net in their last two games. Ali Ahmed has created the most number of big chances for Vancouver Whitecaps (8) this season, and is another footballer who can make a difference in the upcoming event.
Ryan Gauld is the only star unavailable for Sunday’s fixture due to a knee injury.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Seattle Sounders
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Seattle Sounders (4-3-3): Takaoka; Adekugbe, Vesilinovic, Blackmon, Laborda; Vite, Cubas, Priso; Nelson, White, Ahmed.
Seattle Sounders Team News
Seattle Sounders, who are ranked fifth in the league table, have quite a big gap to close between themselves and Vancouver. Still, this match presents an opportunity to make up some ground. Having won only two out of their previous five MLS games, Seattle know that unless they turn the tide quickly, they may hurtle downward in the standings.
In the upcoming fixture, they’ll have to make do without the services of Jordan Morris and Yeimar Gomez, both of whom have been ruled out with hamstring problems. Kee-Hee Kim and Paul Arriola, meanwhile, have sustained calf and cruciate ligament injuries, respectively.

Manager Brian Schmetzer, who has a lot of faith in his 4-2-3-1 formation, admits that most of their chances have been created through central attacking midfielder Rusnak. He’s also been the leading player behind their fast, short-passing style of football, which uses transitions to quickly turn defence into attack.
Rusnak has already scored seven goals in the league and assisted on three occasions, which makes him the most dangerous Seattle player on show. The star also has the highest number of shots on target per match for Seattle (1.5) and the most big chances created (4).
Seattle Sounders predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps
Seattle Sounders predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (4-2-3-1): Frei; A. Roldan, Kossa-Rienzi, Bell, Tolo; Paulo, C. Roldan; De la Vega, Rusnak, Musovski; Ferreira.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Seattle Sounders Prediction
- Pick: Seattle Sounders to win or draw
- Odds: -244 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps 1-2 Seattle Sounders
The visitors, despite playing away from home, have our backing in this game, and we expect them to either win or draw. Out of the 47 meetings between the teams, Seattle have won or drawn 32, whereas Vancouver have beaten them outright on only 10 occasions. Even when these sides met in October 2024, the guests defeated the home squad with a 3-0 scoreline.
Most importantly, Seattle seem to know these opponents fairly well, having won or drawn against them in four out of their previous five outings.
With their 4-2-3-1 formation, the visiting club may have a slight upper hand over Vancouver, who’ll be shaping up in 4-3-3. It’s extremely attack-minded and may, in turn, leave gaps in defence. Moreover, the hosts have not been unbeatable at home this season, having won only five of their eight matches at BC Place.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Seattle Sounders Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: No fourth goal
- Odds: -385 (20Bet)
Both squads have scored a similar number of goals this season (Vancouver 27, Seattle 25). This gives us the confidence that Sunday’s fixture will see some action. The visitors’ xG is 25.7, only slightly lower than the hosts’ 27.3.
However, we predict there will be no fourth goal, and that both teams will share the game with an aggregate of only three. Six out of the last seven meetings between these clubs did not feature a fourth goal.
Individually, Seattle have not seen four goals scored in three out of their previous four outings, whereas Vancouver have — in two out of their last five.
