Sporting KC v Vancouver Whitecaps : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 21st Sep, 01:30 BST, Children's Mercy Park, Kansas City

It's an away trip for Jesper Sørensen's Vancouver Whitecaps side on Sunday morning, as they head to the Children's Mercy Park for a Major League Soccer tie with Peter Vermes's Sporting KC. Analysing both sides' last 20 Major League Soccer matches, as well as trends within the competition and the betting market, to generate our percentage predictions. All the statistics, including head to heads (H2H), are shown below, alongside odds.

Best Tip: Both teams to score

We have a pair of effective, attacking groups going head-to-head and, as such, we're predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective managers Peter Vermes or Jesper Sørensen mastermind a defensive masterclass to scupper our tip? Latest form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, show that doesn't seem likely.
