Vancouver Whitecaps vs Toronto FC Predictions

Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto both have seventeen points on the board this season, but Saturday’s hosts have played two more games than their guests and have a worse goal difference. However, Vancouver Whitecaps are the form favourites of the two sides heading into this weekends match, having picked up three wins, two draws, and suffered just one defeat from their last six matches.

Goals from Adnan and Venuto saw Vancouver Whitecaps lead 2-0 at the break in their own backyard against Dallas on Sunday, and despite conceding a goal five minutes from time, the hosts held on to secure all three points via a 2-1 win. Toronto’s game at home to SJ Earthquakes also ended 2-1, but on this occasion, despite taking the lead the hosts Toronto were beaten. Laryea broke the deadlock in the twenty-eighth minute for the hosts, but record breaker Wondolowski equalised shortly before the halftime interval. The very same player put SJ Earthquakes in front nine minutes from time and Toronto could not carve out an equaliser.

The form of both teams heading into Saturday’s match, along with their recent head to head record, points towards a home win for Vancouver Whitecaps this weekend and a good chance we will see both teams score and over 2.5 goals. Vancouver Whitecaps have won three of their last seven matches against Toronto, and both teams have scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in five of their last seven encounters between the pair. Vancouver Whitecaps have won three of their last six matches, while Toronto have lost four of their last five. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Vancouver Whitecap’s last six matches, and Toronto have lost two of their last four matches 2-1, which is why we’re backing a 2-1 scoreline in favour of the hosts on Saturday.

Montero top scores for Vancouver Whitecaps with four MLS goals so far this season, while Altidore and Pozuelo have each netted five times in the league for Toronto. We’re confident that Vancouver Whitecaps will win, and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts have form as well as the home advantage going in their favour this weekend, and when these two teams clash, the match usually ends with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals being produced.
