Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Vancouver Whitecaps vs San Diego, with Anthony Eadson backing the hosts’ firepower at BC Place.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Brian White anytime scorer | 4/5 (Ladbrokes) | Brian White has 17 MLS goals this season, eight more than any Vancouver team-mate, and 11 of them have come at BC Place. He has scored in eight of Vancouver’s 15 home games and has five braces to his name. His five-game drought has come during a run of five straight away matches, all of which he started, so a return home looks well timed. San Diego have kept just two clean sheets in 15 away games, which leaves White well worth backing at 4/5. |
| Vancouver Whitecaps -2 handicap | 5/2 (bet365) | This pays out if Vancouver win by three goals or more, and they have done exactly that in five of their 15 home games, including a 6-0 thrashing of Minnesota United and a 5-0 win over Dallas. The Whitecaps have scored 35 goals at BC Place this season. San Diego have conceded three or more in six of their 15 away games and were beaten 4-1 at New York RB earlier this month. A statement home win from the leaders is worth chasing at 5/2. |
