Major League Soccer: Vancouver Whitecaps v Portland Timbers – Preview, predictions, picks, offers and odds

Vancouver Whitecaps take on Portland Timbers this coming Wednesday in Major League Soccer.

Match Preview

Vancouver Whitecaps will have to do it the hard way if they are to advance to the first round of the MLS playoffs.

The Canadian side have had to cede home advantage due to a scheduling clash at their BC Place home and will instead travel to Oregon for the Western Conference wild card game against Portland Timbers tomorrow night. Add in the fact they have not won any of their last seven MLS games and it’s easy to understand why the Timbers are favorites.

Whitecaps captain Ryan Gauld said: “When you’re going through adversity, that’s when people start to raise their voice a little bit. You get good when the problems arise, you get a lot of people coming together to make sure we get out of it.

“We’ve had a tough time the last few games, but everyone’s aware of the fact that we’re a much better team than we’ve shown, and we need to find a way to get back to doing what we’re good at.”

Vancouver will need to keep a close eye on Portland’s Brazilian midfielder Evander, who scored 15 goals and added 19 assists in the regular season.
