Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
Vancouver two rounds before the end of the season still have a chance to catch seventh place and qualify for the playoff but the chances are very small. Vancouver is five points from Minnesota United but the good thing is that Vancouver has to play against Minnesota in the last round. They will need to win this game against Austin and some results to go in their way to stay in the hunt until the last round.
Vancouver has won two consecutive games for the first time since the start of June and their form is too hot and cold in the last months. Also, one of the reasons for the bad results is defence. Vancouver conceded 55 goals in MLS and only four teams conceded more goals. The good thing is that they failed to score only two from the last 15 goals.
Austin FC Team News
Two rounds before the season end, Austin is second in the Western Conference with 55 points. They almost clinched the 2nd position on the table and they will only need one point from the last two games. Los Angeles in the first place is impossible to catch.
Austin’s results are not great in this phase of the season. They won only one from the last five games and three from the last nine. They conceded too many goals in the last couple of weeks. In the last 11 games, they conceded 22 goals which are two per game.
Their attack is on a good level the whole season. Austin scored 64 goals and only Philadelphia scored more goals in MLS. Also, Austin failed to score in only four games this season.
H2H
They meet three times in the last two years and all three games ended with over 2.5 goals, two of them with BTTS. Vancouver won two games and Austin one.
Team News and Injuries
Vancouver Whitecaps: Delbert Caicedo is injured.
Austin: Washington Corozo is injured.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Austin FC Prediction
Vancouver still has a chance to catch the playoff place. The chances are small but they exist. But they need to produce a great performance against Austin and try to win all three points. On the other hand, Austin has a place in the playoffs so they are a bit relaxed.
Both teams score a lot of goals and conceded a lot at the same time and because Vancouver must attack here and go for points we expect one very interesting game.
