Vancouver Whitecaps vs St. Louis City Prediction: it won't be easy for the visitors

It's been a very good season for St. Louis City and they remain top of the Western Conference with a few games left to play. They are also 10 points ahead of Real Salt Lake in 2nd place. St. Louis City will take on Vancouver Whitecaps at the BC Place.

Vancouver Whitecaps are in the playoff zone but face a close competition from Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake who are only a few points behind. Vancouver Whitecaps have a big task ahead of them and that is to win this game as a draw or defeat could see them drop down the table.

Vancouver Whitecaps

Vancouver Whitecaps need to put an end to their disastrous form for the sake of their playoff place on the table. They have failed to win in their last 4 games in the league, with their most recent game ending in a 2-2 draw against DC United. Brian White opened the scoring in just 2 minutes and Ryan Gauld doubled the lead from the spot in the 57th minute. But they conceded 2 goals later on in the game to end the game as a draw.

Vancouver Whitecaps were beaten 3-1 by St. Louis City in their last meeting back in May. Brian White managed to net once in the 83rd minute, The Whitecaps were not good enough to win the game.

St. Louis City SC

St. Louis City are so close to the finish line after a very tough season. They remain top of the Western Conference with 56 points. St. Louis City need to keep up the momentum even though there are no real threats to their position in the conference.

St. Louis City are currently unbeaten in their last 5 games and they had back-to-back wins in their last 2 games.

They trashed Sporting Kansas City 4-1 in their last game. It was a festival of goals in the second half of the game with Samuel Adeniran, Jared Stroud, Joao Klauss (brace) all scoring in the second 45 minutes.

St. Louis City will be feeling confident coming into this game, considering the fact they had already beaten The Whitecaps in the last game. The game ended 3-1 at full time and Edward Lowen, Tristan Blackmon (OG) and Miguel Perez scored in that game to seal the win for St. Louis City.

Analysis and Predictions

St. Louis City will face Vancouver Whitecaps for the first time at the BC Place. Their lack of experience against The Whitecaps in the BC Place might prove difficult for St. Louis City. I expect Vancouver Whitecaps to come all out for a win at home and St. Louis City might fail to cope with playing on that ground. Either way, this would not be a straightforward game for St. Louis City.
