Seattle Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction

Both teams are a perfectly balanced 3-3-3 in their last 12 overall meetings, and are 2-2-1 in their last 5 meetings in Vancouver. Under is 3-1 in their last 4 overall meetings, but over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Vancouver.

In this Seattle Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Seattle is coming as +120 road favorites. The wrong team is favored in this spot, as Vancouver has more points this season and has been the best team in the West. Vancouver’s CONCACAF game was played on Sunday, so they don’t have an extra game on their shoulders, and have lost only once in their last 16 games. Both teams are also perfectly balanced in their recent meetings, so a draw is a very likely outcome. I don’t think the guests will lose today, so I like the Vancouver Whitecaps +0.5 in this spot.
