Vancouver Whitecaps vs San Jose Earthquakes Predictions

• San Jose Earthquakes are winless in their last nine competitive matches.
• Vancouver Whitecaps have only lost two of their last six games in all competitions.
• Whitecaps have only lost two of their last seven meetings with San Jose Earthquakes.

The MLS Is Back tournament is in full flow now and on Wednesday night Vancouver Whitecaps enter the fray as they take on a San Jose Earthquakes outfit that have already played their first game.

The Whitecaps come into the tournament missing five of their first-team players, including a trio of strikers in Lucas Cavallini, Tosaint Rickets and Fredy Montero. That being said, they do boast a number of promising talents up front such as Theo Bair and Ryan Raposo and if they step up to the plate it could be a surprisingly positive showing from them.

San Jose Earthquakes represent a decent opportunity for the Whitecaps to get some points on the board, too. They were lacklustre in their goalless draw with Seattle Sounders on Saturday and their most recent regular MLS match saw them demolished 5-2 at home to Minnesota United.

In fact, San Jose are winless in their last nine competitive games in a run that stretches back to the start of September 2019. Whitecaps may be missing some key components of their squad, but with just two defeats in their last six competitive outings a Vancouver double chance looks an excellent prediction.

However, with a lack of proven scoring talent on show we’re not expecting a thriller in Orlando. Whitecaps have averaged 1.5 goals per game over their last six matches and San Jose have scored eight goals in their nine match winless streak, so a 1-1 correct score prediction looks a good choice.
