Vancouver Whitecaps vs Seattle Sounders: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Vancouver Whitecaps host Seattle Sounders at BC Place Stadium on Sunday, November 1 (4:30 PM ET / 3:30 PM CT / 1:30 PM PT).

Vancouver Whitecaps have no fresh fitness concerns to report heading into this one, and that means Brian Michael White leads the line again after a season that has brought him seventeen goals from ninety-four shots and forty-three shots on target. Thomas Müller, with nine goals and fifty-two chances created sitting just behind him, remains the creative hub, while Ryan Gauld adds another outlet having created thirty-nine chances of his own. Seattle Sounders also arrive with a full squad to pick from, built around Albert Rusnák, whose eighty-two created chances lead every player in this fixture, and Cristian Roldan, who has chipped in five goals from midfield.

Expect few clear-cut chances and tight margins, with Brian Michael White’s movement enough to produce the game’s only goal. Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 Seattle Sounders.
