Sporting Kansas City vs Vancouver Whitecaps Preview and Team News
Sporting Kansas City Team News
Sporting KC suffered their sixth defeat in the last seven matches, losing 2-1 on the road against Real Salt Lake. Kerry Zavagnin’s men were inferior, and even their only goal came from a mistake by Brayan Vera Ramirez.
The result leaves Kansas City 13th in the Western Conference. With 30 rounds already played, they sit on 27 points and, to make matters worse, hold the worst defensive record in the league with 61 goals conceded.
Canadian Zorhan Bassong has served a suspension and will return to the squad. Andrew Brody and youngster Ian James are out with injuries.
Sporting Kansas City predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (4-3-3): Pulskamp; Ndenbe, Fernandez, Miller, Shelton; Bartlett, Davis, Radoja; Salloi, Joveljic, Suleymanov.
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
The Vancouver Whitecaps followed up their 7-0 demolition of the Philadelphia Union with a 4-0 thrashing of Forge in the Canadian Championship semi-finals. Despite fielding mostly bench players, they looked ruthless and secured a spot in the final.
In MLS, everything is going well for the Whitecaps. They sit third in the Western Conference with 52 points and have two games in hand, which, if won, would see them move to first place.
In the upcoming fixture, the visitors will be without Sam Adekugbe, Ryan Gauld, Joedrick Pupe, Ranko Veselinovic, and Brian White. The latter’s absence is particularly noteworthy as he leads the team with 14 goals.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Sporting Kansas City (4-2-3-1): Takaoka; Ocampo, Blackmon, Halbouni, Laborda; Berhalter, Cubas; Sabbi, Muller, Ahmed; Rios.

- Odds: +106 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Sporting Kansas City 1-2 Vancouver Whitecaps
Vancouver approach the match in strong form. They’ve clinched a third consecutive playoff berth in MLS, something they’ve never done before. Also, recently, they have showcased a good mix of attacking firepower and defensive solidity.
In head-to-head (H2H) clashes, the Whitecaps have won three consecutive games. Historically, it’s been a rollercoaster between the sides but lately, Vancouver have been more consistent.
Given the Whitecaps’ momentum, better recent away stats, and close H2H record, the visitors look like the favourites here. They should push for a victory and dominate the encounter.
Sporting Kansas City vs Vancouver Whitecaps Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -244 (Tonybet)
Sporting KC are one of the most attack-minded yet defensively vulnerable clubs in MLS. They’ve netted 45 goals this season, averaging around 1.5 per match, but have also conceded 61.
Vancouver, on the other hand, have strong attackers, including Thomas Muller, but also experience occasional frailties at the back. They’ve scored 54 goals so far, but still concede just over one per game.
Head-to-head records also back this trend, as Kansas City usually find goals against the Whitecaps, while Vancouver’s current form suggests they will respond in kind. Given the way both sides play, goals at both ends look highly likely.
