Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Seattle Sounders FC Betting Prediction

Vancouver Whitecaps FC Preview

Last week Jesper Sørensen’s men were outmatched as they were throttled by Liga MX side Cruz Azul in the title match for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, losing 5-0. The good news for the Whitecaps in MLS, they still occupy the top spot with the best record in the west amassing 32 points through 15 matches. 

The surprise team of the campaign so far, Vancouver is winning by committee on both sides of the pitch. The club ranks first overall in goals conceded, only allowing 0.8 goals allowed per match. Sørensen’s defensive tactics have certainly paid off so far in his debut season on the touchline for the ‘Caps. Finding the back of the net hasn’t been too much of an issue as Vancouver is averaging 1.8 goals registered per match, which is the seventh-highest in the competition.

Seattle Sounders Preview

Over the weekend, Brian Schmetzer’s troops saw their three-game unbeaten form come to a halt, suffering a 3-2 setback at home against Minnesota United. Despite owning 65 percent of the possession, the Sounders failed to make good on creating any dangerous attacking displays as they finished with an xG 0.85 after the final whistle. 

One player that will be counted on to dictate the play on Sunday will be Albert Rusnak. The attacking midfielder is off to a splendid start to 2025 cataloging seven goals and three assists which leads both stat categories after 16 matches with the club. The 30-year-old Slovakian international is in his fourth season in a Rave Green kit, which has seen him garner 59 goal contributions in 140 appearances across all competitions.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Seattle Sounders FC - My Pick

• Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Seattle Sounders FC pick: Seattle Sounders FC draw no bet (-150) at bet365

In most scenarios, we advise not to go against this ‘Caps side as they have been rolling in MLS play, that said the situational spot the hosts are in we feel Seattle can capitalize on this opportunity. The FIFA schedule is in the June international window, which means this Vancouver side will be decimated with the amount of key pieces off for international duty. Vancouver will be missing nine players, most that feature in the starting-11 including team-leading scorer Brian White and tempo-setting midfielders Cubas and Vite. Vancouver has also played ample amounts of fixtures in 2025 up to June 1st covering multiple tournaments, in 101 days the ‘Caps played 25 matches. With Vancouver’s depleted squad and racked-up miles playing, we sense the Sounders are in a decent spot to take down their Cascadia rivals.
