Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction & Betting Tips (4 July)

Defeated in the first round of the playoffs in 2022 and 2021, Minnesota wants to take a step forward this year and climb into the last four in the West. To do this, you have to go through a good regular season campaign, and this is not really the case at the moment with a 7th place, the last qualifier to participate in the postseason but above all an avalanche of bad results in recent weeks. Indeed, the Stars have lost their last four matches to date against the Seattle Sounders 2-0, on the field of Dallas 5-3, for the reception of the Texans of FC Austin 0-1 and last weekend, from side of Portland against the Timbers 3-2. Opposite, the Whitecaps occupy 8th place with a very small point behind their opponents of the night. Clearly, the victory is crucial for Vancouver which remains on a nice prolific victory against St.

Louis City last weekend 4-3. An important success for the morale of the Blue & White who had conceded two defeats in quick succession against the poorly ranked New England 3-2 and without reaction on the lawn of Portland 2-0. Let us point out, however, that we feel a certain inferiority complex away from home for the Whitecaps who have only won one of their last six games on the road.

Excluded against Austin at the half-hour mark, which probably cost his team the match, midfielder Dotson (3 goals in MLS) should return from suspension tonight while Reynoso, Bacharach Capdevila and attackers Pukki (ex-Norwich) and Fragapane (1 goal, 2 assists this season) are injured and possibly OUT tonight. We will not forget to recall that certain elements have joined their selection for the Copa America, like the Costa Rican Flores, Harvey (Panama), Oluwaseyi (7 goals in MLS, Canada) and the number 1 goalkeeper Dayne St.Clair (Canada) all unavailable tonight.   Suspended last weekend, midfielder Schopf (1 goal, 2 assists in the league) should once again be eligible for his coach. On the other hand, this will not a priori be the case for Canadian defender Sam Adekugbe (1 assist in only 6 appearances) and for Croatian midfielder Kreilach (2 goals in MLS) who are still injured.

Ali Ahmed (Canada) and André Cubas (Paraguay) have joined their squad for the Copa America. If the first city is still in the running, the 2nd was eliminated in the group stage and could appear in the group tonight (uncertain). Author of 9 goals without forgetting his 4 assists, Gauld will be there just like Brian White (8 pawns, 2 caviars) author of a resounding hat-trick in the victory against St.Louis City (4-3).
