Vancouver Whitecaps vs. FC Dallas Prediction: Away Side Seeks Rare Road Win

Saturday evening at BC Place the Vancouver Whitecaps will welcome FC Dallas in the last game of this weekends MLS slate. Currently, the Whitecaps possess an eight-point advantage in the Western Conference table sitting with 41 points versus their counterparts who have collected 33. This fixture matchup has been closely contested over their 30 previous encounters, with Dallas winning on 12 occasions compared with Vancouver’s 10, while eight times both clubs have shared the points.

 Vanni Sartini’s men are coming off a resilient away victory defeating Austin FC 1-0. It was the club's first clean sheet since May 4, which coincidentally happened against the same side. During last weekend's win, the Caps outshot their opponents 18 to six inside the 90 minutes.

 Peter Luccin’s troops coughed up a late 2-1 lead at home against the Rapids, resulting in Colorado winning 3-2 after the final whistle. Dallas’s defence has been exploited the last few weeks as they have conceded six goals in their previous two contests and in their last 10 MLS matches, Dallas have only picked up a shutout once.

Here, we will break down the betting odds and share our favourite picks for Vancouver Whitecaps vs. FC Dallas.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs. FC Dallas Betting Preview

Vancouver Whitecaps Preview

With international duty taking place this week, the Whitecaps will be without the services of key players, including team MVP Ryan Gauld. Receiving his first call-up with Scotland in 10 years, the attacking forward is having a splendid campaign picking amazing 18 goal contributions. The 28-year-old has shined since arriving in Vancouver in 2021, amassing 37 goals in 125 appearances.

Another crucial piece on this Caps roster that will be missing in action is Andres Cubas who will join team Paraguay during the international break. The defensive midfielder has dawned the Whitecaps kit 81 times across all competitions, registering one goal.

FC Dallas Preview

Between the sticks, Dallas will be missing their number one man, as Maarten Paes is off to represent Indonesia in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying. The 2024 MLS all-star has played in all 27 MLS matches Dallas has participated in, securing three clean sheets. The 26-year-old currently occupies a 71 percent save percentage with a 1.67 goals-against average.

 In the middle of the pitch, Patrickson Delgado will be absent as he is representing Ecuador in the World Cup Qualifying. The 20-year-old first taste of MLS has been satisfactory to the team staff getting in 19 games of action. Through 1000 domestic league minutes, Delgado has assembled three goals and two assists.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs. FC Dallas - My Pick

As stated above this weekend there will be various clubs without countless members off to represent their nations in international duty. Dallas will be missing their star goalkeeper as the biggest blow to their starting lineup. However, Vancouver, they’re the second most-represented club in MLS with five players on national assignments. The significant difference is the Whitecaps will be missing almost half their starting lineup. The host's depth will be tested on Saturday, and for Dallas, the lone road win on the year so far is a concern, but they have also accrued four draws. Think this is a good situational spot to fade the home team with their pivotal roster players out on chores with their national teams.
