Vancouver Whitecaps hosts Real Salt Lake in round 11 of the American MLS. The match will be played on Thursday, July 8th at BC Place (Vancouver)
Vancouver Whitecaps are one of the main losers of the current season in the MLS. After 11 matches played, the Canadian club is in the last 13th place in the Western Conference. Whitecaps gained their last victory over Montreal on 8 May (2-0). After that, the Canadian team lost six matches in a row. Only in the last two rounds did they manage to interrupt the losing streak, having tied twice. And the matches against Seattle and Dallas ended with a 2-2 score. In four out of five cases, the reasons for the loss of points and defeats were failures at the end of matches. In the game against Dallas, Vancouver took the lead after losing 0-1. But Whitecaps let the victory slip away, conceding in the 94th minute. The same situation happened in the match against Seattle Sounders (2-2). The Canadians took the lead but conceded in the 71st minute. LA Galaxy scored the winning goal in the 93rd minute, and Real Salt Lake snatched a 3-1 victory in added time.

Real Salt Lake scores points a little more often than Vancouver Whitecaps does. Claret and Cobalt tied twice and gained one victory in the last five matches. In three out of five games, the players managed to score only one goal. The second half is a weak spot for Real Salt Lake, as the team conceded after a break in each of their last five matches. Moreover, both sides scored in four out of five cases. Let’s note that nine out of twelve goals in the last five games were scored after the break. Bookmakers give a coefficient of 2.10 on the fact that the second half will be more productive than the first.
The teams alternated between victories and defeats in the last five head-to-head matches. Real Salt Lake won two games in a row, and then it was Vancouver’s turn to win two games as well. I would like to note that both teams scored in three consecutive head-to-head matches. Both sides have scored in each of the last five matches of Vancouver Whitecaps. Real Salt Lake have four such matches. Beyond that, both clubs have scored in three of their last five head-to-head matches. The hosts have more chances to concede: an average of 2.4 goals flew into the net of Vancouver in the last five games. And this figure was 1.2 for Real Salt Lake. Therefore, there is a reason to wait for an exchange of goals scored in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
