Vancouver Whitecaps host Austin FC at BC Place Stadium on Sunday, September 13 (6:30 PM ET \/ 5:30 PM CT \/ 3:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s no fresh injury or suspension news out of either camp for this one, so both managers should have their strongest options available. Brian Michael White and Thomas M\u00fcller carry the attacking threat for Vancouver Whitecaps, with White’s goal tally and M\u00fcller’s chance creation the two things Austin FC’s defence will be most wary of. Austin FC will lean on Myrto Uzuni and Facundo Torres to give them an outlet, with Torres in particular a constant creative presence just off the front line.<\/p>\n

Expect Vancouver Whitecaps to control this from the outset rather than need to chase it. Austin FC’s -13 goal difference from 23 games points to a side that has struggled to keep matches level, and there’s little here to suggest an away side capable of troubling a Vancouver Whitecaps team built on a +28 goal difference at both ends of the pitch. This looks a tight, low-event evening for the neutral but a comfortable one for the hosts: control without needing to force it, a clean sheet at the back, and a routine two goals at the other end to stay top of the West.<\/p>\n\n\n
