Minnesota United vs Vancouver Whitecaps Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Major League Soccer on Sunday, 26 March 2023.
Minnesota had a decent start to this season sealing a three pointer against FC Dallas by scoring 1-0 ft score. Their victory was against the odds as the bookmakers were in favor of Dallas considering the pre season display of Minnesota.
Going on, the team drew the second fixture against New York Red Bulls and won the third fixture against Colorado, surprising the bookies yet again. They will be facing a four-game winless Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday.
Minnesota won three of the past five league encounters against Vancouver. They won both the fixtures against Whitecaps in the past MLS season.
At this venue, Minnesota have a 100% unbeaten record in the league clashes against Vancouver in the past decade.
Minnesota’s first home match this season ended in a 1-1 draw. It was against New York Red Bulls. However, the team have not lost one this season, which is impressive.
Meanwhile, Vancouver recorded displeasing outcomes on the road this season. They are on a two-match winless streak at the moment. In fact, they lost seven of the past 10 away matches across competitions.
Going on, Minnesota have an upper hand in the recent tradition of this match-up. Thus, we expect a win for Minnesota on Sunday.
This match is likely to have goals in plenty considering the attacking form of both. These two teams have been pretty consistent in scoring since the beginning irrespective of their results. Since we expect a win for Minnesota, over 2.5 goals is a logical bet to back here.
Neither of these two teams have succeeded in preventing their opposition from scoring at respective patches of late. Their h2h recordings have also been both teams scoring. Therefore, we expect this match to have goals from both ends.
Vancouver’s winless run forces us to back Minnesota here. The h2h edge and comparatively better stats are an addition to back the hosts here. However, it won’t be a one-sided affair considering the goal trend of both.
Therefore, we like to start with Minnesota United to win at 2.20 odds and to end with over 2.5 goals & both teams to score at 2.05 odds for all the above reasons.
