Vancouver Whitecaps vs Valour FC Preview and Team News
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
The Whitecaps are coming off one of their most disappointing performances of the entire 2025 season across all competitions, having suffered a 0-3 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Vancouver looked outmatched in that game, as they struggled to connect properly in midfield and left far too many open spaces at the back due to their passive defending.
Our mission stays the same. 🏆🍁
We’re level after Leg 1. Everything’s on the line this Wednesday in the #CanChamp Quarterfinals.

Thus, the Whitecaps will be looking to bounce back in this matchup. This is the second leg of their quarterfinal tie. The first one ended in a 2-2 draw back on May 20 at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, home of Valour. The Whitecaps are the odds-on favourites, and even if they opt to rotate the squad, they should still have enough quality to take complete control of the contest.
That said, their recent form has been concerning. Vancouver have lost four of their last six matches across all competitions, a stretch that includes a 5-0 loss to Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Final on June 1. The Whitecaps have conceded three or more goals in each of those four defeats, underlining a clear need to shore up their defensive structure if they want to get back to winning ways.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Valour FC (4-3-3): Takaoka; Laborda, Blackmon, Veselinovic, Johnson; Cubas, Berhalter, Vite; Ocampo, White, Sabbi.
Valour FC Team News
Valour did a good job of staying alive in this tie by securing a 2-2 draw in the first leg at home. However, it would be a monumental upset if they were to eliminate Vancouver on the road and move into the semifinals of the tournament. It’s not as though the Winnipeg club are going through a prolific stretch to entice their fans to believe in a potential miracle at BC Place.
In fact, Valour come into this meeting on the heels of a three-game losing skid, following a 3-1 defeat to HFX Wanderers in their most recent Canadian Premier League match.

They’ve conceded at least three goals in each of those losses. Though to be fair, the schedule hasn’t been kind to them, as their other defeats came against Atlético Ottawa and Forge, arguably the CPL’s two best teams this season.
The visitors aren’t expected to be without any key players or to rest any important pieces for this encounter. Given their recent struggles in the CPL, the upcoming clash could very well be the most important fixture of Valour’s 2025 season to date.
Valour FC predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (4-2-3-1): Himaras; Alarcón, Egwu, Romeo, Fernández; Ohin, Figueiredo; Twardek, Resurreicao, Venancio; Layne.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Valour FC Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Whitecaps to win with a clean sheet
- Odds: +116 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Vancouver Whitecaps 2-0 Valour FC
Valour are expected to field something quite close to their strongest XI, having rotated the squad in their recent 3-1 loss to HFX Wanderers. However, that likely won’t be enough to pull the upset in this one. The Whitecaps are the better side by a wide margin and should have little trouble securing an easy victory.
The fact that both teams have been struggling in recent weeks gives a bigger sense of urgency to them. However, the hosts have a clear edge in terms of experience, overall talent, and individual quality. Valour will probably be happy sitting deep on the counter, but that approach won’t give them a real shot at winning here. Thus, we expect the Whitecaps to keep a clean sheet en route to a convincing victory.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Valour FC Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 total goals
- Odds: +108 (Tonybet)
The Whitecaps are expected to dominate the game right from the start and should carve out clear-cut scoring chances early and often. However, the team have been struggling to capitalize on their opportunities lately. The fact that Valour are likely to play with a defensive-minded approach won’t make things easier for Vancouver.
It’s unlikely to be a back-and-forth contest like the 2-2 draw from the first leg. The Whitecaps should come out on top this time, but don’t be surprised if this ends up being a low-scoring affair with only one or two goals overall.
