Vancouver Whitecaps v Inter Miami

Vancouver Whitecaps vs Inter Miami Preview

Western Conference outfit Vancouver Whitecaps will play host to the East Conference leaders Inter Miami when the two teams clash at BC Place this weekend with both sides eager to further consolidate their positions for the upcoming Finals Series with Vancouver Whitecaps heading into this encounter on the back of a 1-1 draw away from home at Seattle Sounders, while Inter Miami registered a 1-0 home win over DC United last weekend which maintained their position at the top of the Eastern Conference ladder.

It's now five league games without a win for the Canadian hosts, Vancouver Whitecaps, following three draws but also two defeats as points gained in stalemates with New York RB, Austin and Seattle Sounders have been outweighed by recent losses at the hands of Los Angeles and Colorado Rapids in 3-0 and 1-0 defeats respectively.

However, both of those losses were incurred on their travels while on home soil, seventh placed Whitecaps have produced an indifferent sequence of results, collecting just three wins out of their last 11 home games overall.

Wins against St Louis City 3-0, Portland Timbers 3-2 and Toronto 4-0 have been offset by four defeats but the goals market looks promising here as six of Vancouver's last 10 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Inter Miami hold a slender one-point cushion over second placed Cincinnati prior to this weekend's action in the MLS so the visitors will be keen to hold onto pole position in the Conference ladder with all three points here at BC Place, and having won six out of their last seven matches overall, Inter Miami look well placed to do just that.

Gerardo Martino's side are unbeaten in their last nine games overall in MLS and within their recent six victories, three of these have been achieved on their travels at Sporting Kansas 3-2, New England Revolution 4-1 and a 3-2 victory at Montreal respectively, so the visitors will be in confident mood.

Inter Miami have been handed just the two defeats throughout this current MLS campaign while picking up nine wins within their total of 15 league matches played to date along with collecting four wins in their seven away games so far this season, so the prospects are looking positive for Inter Miami in this fixture.

In addition, goals also look likely in this upcoming encounter as seven of Inter Miami's last 10 games overall have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.
