Toronto FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction: Toronto FC remain unchanged

Toronto FC finally ended their losing streak against Philadelphia Union in their last game, winning 3-1 at full time. They had lost their last 8 matches in a row prior to the game and now they are looking to build some momentum with another win against Vancouver Whitecaps.

The Whitecaps are in much better form compared to the hosts and that can give them enough confidence to carry on their good form. They are without a defeat in their last 3 matches in a row after their 1-1 draw with New York City last time out.

Vancouver Whitecaps will be hoping for a repeat of the last match against Toronto FC, one which they won 3-0 on this ground, even though it was a preseason friendly.

Toronto FC

Toronto FC are still far away from being a good team despite their win against Philadelphia Union last weekend. It will be interesting to see how this team sets up in this match and if they can build a winning run here. Toronto beat Philadelphia Union 3-1 on this ground last week. Lorenzo Insigne scored the opening goal in the 23rd minute to put Toronto FC ahead, but Philadelphia found their way back with Julian Carranza slotting in the equalizer in the 45th minute. And in the second half, Deandre Kerr and Jonathan Osorio extended Toronto’s lead in the 58th and 63rd minutes. This time, they held onto the lead until the final whistle.

Toronto’s win over Philadelphia Union was their first win in 12 straight MLS matches. They lost 8 games in a row and drew 3 games before the win. In their last 5 games, they have lost to St. Louis City, Chicago Fire, CF Montreal and Columbus Crew and won the game against Philadelphia Union.

Toronto’s home form is just as poor as their overall form. They had recorded only 1 win, 3 defeats and 1 draw in their last 5 home games in the MLS. That leaves them in 15th place in the Eastern Conference and 28th in the MLS, having 22 points from 27 matches. They have a total of 4 wins, 10 draws and 13 defeats and they have a goal ratio of 23:29.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Whitecaps come into this game as huge favorites considering their current form. The Whitecaps will have lots of confidence against the host, as they beat them 3-0 the last time the two teams faced each other. Toronto had back-to-back wins prior to their 1-1 draw against New York City in their last match. After a goalless first half, Monsef Bakrar gave New York City the lead in the 55th minute and in the 60th minute Vancouver Whitecaps won a penalty. Ryan Gauld scored from the spot to draw both sides level and the game ended that way at full time.

Vancouver Whitecaps have won 3 of their last 5 games, losing 1 and drawing 1. They won against LA Galaxy, Portland Timbers and Chicago Fire, then played a draw against New York City and then lost to San Jose Earthquakes. Their away form seems pretty much the same, as they have 3 wins, 1 defeat and 1 draw in their last 5 matches.

The Whitecaps are ranked 6th in the western conference and 13th in the MLS, having 38 points from 26 matches. They have a total of 10 wins, 8 draws and 8 defeats and a goal ratio of 42:36.
