Vancouver Whitecaps vs Cartaginés Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Vancouver Whitecaps to Win
- Odds: -358 (Tonybet)
The Vancouver Whitecaps had a clear advantage in the first leg, registering 75% possession, 15 shots, and 1.09 xG. They also limited Cartaginés to zero shots on target and forced them to spend long stretches in a low block (25% possession).
The return match takes place at BC Place, where Vancouver looked solid in the 2025 MLS season, winning 10 of 17 encounters.
Cartaginés were comfortable sitting deep at home, but on the road, they can’t protect 0-0 forever. The Whitecaps are also expected to push for a victory and should come out on top in this tie.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Cartaginés Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Brian White to Score
In MLS 2025, Brian White scored 18 goals in 1,916 minutes. He is Vancouver’s most prolific finisher and will be in the spotlight in the upcoming fixture.
The first leg suggested that the Caps were unlucky not to clinch a victory. With them playing at home, White’s scoring chances are higher, as the Whitecaps are likely to adopt a more aggressive approach.
White played until the 79th minute in the first leg and is expected to see significant minutes again, especially if Vancouver are chasing the result. Therefore, the American forward looks like a strong candidate to hit the net.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Cartaginés Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Vancouver Whitecaps to Win + Brian White to Score + Under 2.5 Goals
Vancouver Whitecaps to Win: The hosts are clear favourites following their dominant first-leg performance, despite the match ending in a goalless draw. Returning to BC Place, where Vancouver posted the third-best result in the previous MLS season, further strengthens their case.
Brian White to Score: White recorded 18 goals last season. He is the Whitecaps’ key finisher and should find a way to get on the scoresheet.
Under 2.5 Goals: While Vancouver tend to score multiple goals, the Costa Rican side’s games are typically tight. Six of their last nine fixtures have produced three or fewer goals, so the goal-fest here looks unlikely.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Cartaginés Team News
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
Vancouver have announced that head coach Jesper Sørensen has signed an extension through the 2027-28 season.
Following a 0-0 draw against Cartaginés, they beat Real Salt Lake 1-0, recording 59% possession and 1.36 xG. Taken together, those performances highlight why Vancouver are difficult to beat. They control territory, stack set pieces, and limit opponents’ shot quality.
A major boost for the Caps is AZ Jackson finding the net. After arriving from Jagiellonia on a loan deal, he scored in his second appearance and was one of the best players on the pitch.
As for injuries, Ryan Gauld, Sam Adekugbe, Ranko Veselinović, and Belal Halbouni are all sidelined. Bruno Caicedo and Cheikh Sabaly are also out.
Cartaginés Team News
Cartaginés’ recent results across competitions have been mixed. Against Vancouver, they barely held on to a draw, producing 0.24 xG and conceding the ball. However, against Liberia in the domestic championship, they came back and won the game 2-1. In general, they’re one of the lowest-scoring sides, having netted eight goals in eight matches so far.
Veteran forward Johan Venegas found the net in the last round against Liberia, while Cristopher Núñez – a Costa Rica international – often acts as the intermediary in midfield.
There are no major reported absences for the upcoming fixture, so a similar lineup to the first leg is expected.
