Vancouver will look to continue their impressive home form when they entertain Minnesota this weekend.
The Whitecaps have lost only once at BC Place this season and face a United side that are proving poor on their travels.
A home win at 2.50 is an obvious pick for our first Vancouver Whitecaps vs Minnesota United prediction.
Vancouver Whitecaps Odds
Vancouver recovered from a run of one win in their first eight matches to take 20 points from a possible 30.
They have relied on their home form, with five wins, three draws and one loss coming in front of their own fans.
Adrian Cubas’ 89th-minute goal secured a 1-0 win over Los Angeles on Sunday.
Midfielder Cubas told Vancouver’s official website: “I am super happy for my first goal, but even more happy we got the victory we deserved.”
The win over LA brought a third consecutive clean sheet for the Whitecaps, who have also kept New England and Dallas at bay in recent weeks.
Whitecaps coach Vanni Sartini added: “The first half we were playing very well building up, but up top we were going individually and it was hard to create something.
“The second half it was immediately a little better. Adrian scored a fantastic goal. We deserved it. We hit the post.
“It’s a team defensive performance. I am really happy. It gives us a lot of confidence.”
A home win to nil is Vancouver Whitecaps vs Minnesota United odds.
Minnesota United Odds
Minnesota ended a three-match winless streak with victory over Real Salt Lake on Monday.
United held on for a 3-2 win after leading 3-0 with just over an hour gone.
Emanuel Reynoso netted a brace and Luis Amarilla also struck before two goals in five minutes, from Jefferson Savarino and Anderson Julio, set up a nervy last 14 minutes.
That will give Minnesota confidence heading for Canada, but their away form will not.
Minnesota have only won twice on the road, while also drawing two and losing five, three of those defeats coming by one goal.
The hosts to win by one goal is 4.2 in the Vancouver Whitecaps vs Minnesota United betting tips.
