Vancouver Whitecaps vs Austin FC Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

The Vancouver Whitecaps welcome Austin FC to British Columbia in a late night edition of Major League Soccer. Austin will make their first trek up to Canada since July 12, 2023 when they fell to Vancouver by a score of 2-1. Austin FC has outperformed expectations so far this season, garnering 15 total points so far. Those strong results have offered them a 7th-place position in the Western Conference, just 4 spots away from their hosts. Austin looked dominant in a 2-0 victory most recently, a surprising outcome given the prowess of LA Galaxy. A 1-1 draw at Red Bull Arena precedes this home match for Vancouver Whitecaps, who were unable to capitalize on the man advantage after New York’s Noah Eile was sent off. Given the setting of this match at BC Place, another Austin win is considered unlikely by the bookmakers. Additional cause for concern for Austin FC supporters is the history of this fixture, which is slanted heavily in favor of the Whitecaps.
