The Vancouver Whitecaps will go against the Houston Dynamo FC in MLS action in BC Place, Canada, on Wednesday, May 31, 2023, at 10:30 PM ET.

 

Major League Soccer, the premier soccer division in the United States and Canada, will host the 12th season of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2023.

 

This was the 46th season of professional soccer, including earlier incarnations of the organization, played in Vancouver under a variation of the “Whitecaps” moniker.

 

The Whitecaps, who won the 2022 Canadian Championship, will take part in the CONCACAF Champions League for the third time overall and for the first time since the 2016–17 season.

 

The Vancouver Whitecaps will try to improve on their last performance here after losing 3-1 to St. Louis City in their most recent MLS match.

 

In that game, the Vancouver Whitecaps had 62% of the possession and 12 shots on goal, with two being successful. Brian White (83′) and Tristan Blackmon (45′ own goal) scored the goals for the Vancouver Whitecaps.

 

Seven of St. Louis City’s 16 shots on goal were on target. For St. Louis City, goals were scored by Miguel Perez (94′) and Eduard Löwen (10′).

 

The Vancouver Whitecaps had no trouble scoring, doing so in each and every one of their last six games. During that period, they scored 12 goals while having nine goals against them. 

 

Due to a fully healthy roster being available, Vancouver Whitecaps manager Vanni Sartini doesn’t have any concerns about his players’ fitness before this match.

 

Thomas Hasal, Tristan Blackmon, Sebastian Berhalter, Julian Gressel, Luis Martins, Alessandro Schöpf, Javain Brown, Ranko Veselinovic, Pedro Vite, Ryan Gauld, and Simon Becher appear to be the likely starters for the Capitals in a 3-4-2-1 formation. 

 

  • The Vancouver Whitecaps are 2-3 in their last five matches against the spread.
  • The Vancouver Whitecaps are 3-4 in their road matches against the spread.
  • The totals went over in three of the Whitecaps’ last five matches.

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Houston Dynamo FC Predictions 5/31/2023

 

The Houston Dynamo will enter the match fresh off a 2-1 MLS victory against Austin FC in their previous match. The Houston Dynamo had 53% of the game’s possession and 15 shots on goal, with 5 being successful.

 

The goals were scored by Héctor Herrera (37′) and Iván Franco (87′) for the Houston Dynamo. Austin FC had 11 shots on goal at the other end, with three on target.

 

Austin FC scored thanks to Gyasi Zardes (21′). The Houston Dynamo defense put in a string of excellent performances, with the result that they only gave up four goals altogether in their last six games.

 

Their own forwards managed to score eight goals over that time. 

 

Ben Olsen, the manager of the Houston Dynamo, must make decisions for a group with some fitness issues. Both Ifunanyachi Achara and Tate Schmitt will be absent due to knee injuries.

 

According to our analysis, Orange Crush is most likely to start Steve Clark, Ethan Bartlow, Micael, Franco Escobar, Daniel Steres, Hector Herrera, Artur, A. Carrasquilla, Amine Bassi, Corey Baird, and Ibrahim Aliyu in a 4-3-3 formation. 

 

  • The Houston Dynamo FC are 5-0 in their last five matches against the spread.
  • The Houston Dynamo FC are 3-3 in their road matches against the spread.
  • The totals went over in two of HOU’s last five matches. 

Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Houston Dynamo FC The MLS pick for this game is the Vancouver Whitecaps.

 

Looking at their previous head-to-head matches dating back to September 15, 2019, there was little to distinguish the clubs, with the Vancouver Whitecaps winning two of them, the Houston Dynamo winning two, and two games ending in draws during regulation.

 

Over the course of those games, they combined to score 12 goals, of which the Caps scored 6 and 6 by the Orange Crush. That equals two goals per game on average.

 

In their most recent league meeting, played on MLS Match Day 33 on August 6, 2022, the Vancouver Whitecaps defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-1.

 

On that particular day, the Vancouver Whitecaps enjoyed 45% of the possession, and 4 of their 13 shot attempts were successful.

 

Simon Becher (88′) and Lucas Cavallini (92′) scored goals. The Houston Dynamo, on the other hand, had nine shots total, four of which were on goal. (6) Fafà Picault scored. Fotis Bazakos was the referee. 

 

When all things are considered, the Vancouver Whitecaps should be able to generate a respectable number of chances and shots on goal.

 

At the same time, the Houston Dynamo will undoubtedly struggle to score, though expect them to succeed at least once. At the end of this match, there is a respectable 3-1 victory for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
