Vancouver Whitecaps vs. FC Dallas Prediction: Away Side Seeks Rare Road Win

Saturday evening at BC Place the Vancouver Whitecaps will welcome FC Dallas in the last game of this weekends MLS slate. Currently, the Whitecaps possess an eight-point advantage in the Western Conference table sitting with 41 points versus their counterparts who have collected 33. This fixture matchup has been closely contested over their 30 previous encounters, with Dallas winning on 12 occasions compared with Vancouver’s 10, while eight times both clubs have shared the points.

 Vanni Sartini’s men are coming off a resilient away victory defeating Austin FC 1-0. It was the club's first clean sheet since May 4, which coincidentally happened against the same side. During last weekend's win, the Caps outshot their opponents 18 to six inside the 90 minutes.

 Peter Luccin’s troops coughed up a late 2-1 lead at home against the Rapids, resulting in Colorado winning 3-2 after the final whistle. Dallas’s defence has been exploited the last few weeks as they have conceded six goals in their previous two contests and in their last 10 MLS matches, Dallas have only picked up a shutout once.

• Vancouver Whitecaps vs. FC Dallas pick: FC Dallas double chance (-134) at bet365

As stated above this weekend there will be various clubs without countless members off to represent their nations in international duty. Dallas will be missing their star goalkeeper as the biggest blow to their starting lineup. However, Vancouver, they’re the second most-represented club in MLS with five players on national assignments. The significant difference is the Whitecaps will be missing almost half their starting lineup. The host's depth will be tested on Saturday, and for Dallas, the lone road win on the year so far is a concern, but they have also accrued four draws. Think this is a good situational spot to fade the home team with their pivotal roster players out on chores with their national teams.
