Competition: MLS
Market: Vancouver Whitecaps win
Odds: 12/11 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend on their MLS purple patch, Vancouver will welcome Dallas to BC Place in the early hours of Sunday.
Starting with the hosts, while Vancouver might have watched their Leagues Cup campaign come to an abrupt end last month as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Mexican outfit UNAM, the Whitecaps are in the midst of what has become a stellar domestic purple patch. Last seen putting in another eye-catching display as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Austin, Vanni Sartini’s side have come flying up the Western Conference standings and they are breezing their way to a play-off ticket. Winning four of their previous five appearances across all competitions, Vancouver find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Losing just one of their previous seven MLS matchups – a run that stems all the way back to June 23rd – Sunday’s hosts have also recorded consecutive clean sheets for the first time over the past 11 months. Simply looking to widen their buffer in the play-off chase this weekend, Sartini’s men should be smelling a golden opportunity here.
As for the visitors, while Dallas might have signed off August with an action-packed 4-3 victory away at DC United, the Burn came crashing back down to earth last weekend. Eventually falling to a 3-2 loss at home against Colorado, interim boss Peter Luccin is desperate for his temporary squad to find some kind of stability. Watching their Leagues Cup adventure come to an end last month following a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Juarez, the Texas-based outfit have a real uphill battle on their hands in the race to book another play-off ticket this season. Losing three of their previous four appearances across all competitions, Sunday’s guests have gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring struggles at the back. Along with shipping 10 goals in their last four outings, Dallas have also registered just a single clean sheet since the middle of June. Likewise, collecting just a sole point from any of their previous four trips to BC Place, we are backing a home victory this weekend.
Bet: Vancouver Whitecaps 12/11 to beat FC Dallas in Sunday’s MLS matchup @ 1xBet
