Vancouver Whitecaps vs St. Louis City SC Prediction

Vancouver Whitecaps top the Western Conference on 43 points from 21 games, a +30 goal difference underlining how dominant they’ve been this season. St. Louis City SC sit sixth in the West on 34 points from 22 games, a +3 goal difference showing a far less commanding campaign. St. Louis have shown they can trade goals, drawing 3-3 with Dallas last time out, but Vancouver’s control and Brian White’s 13 goals give them the edge to keep this one tight. Expect a controlled Vancouver Whitecaps win, 2-0, with White on the scoresheet again.
