Prediction
Sporting Kansas City 4, Vancouver Whitecaps 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPORTING KANSAS CITY (-200) is a bit expensive at this price, but there is no way they’re falling to the Whitecaps (+475). SKC has posted a 4-0-1 mark over their past five meetings with Vancouver across all competitions, outscoring the ‘Caps by a 17-3 margin. Sporting has posted at least three goals in four of those outings, including a 3-1 win before the pause button was pressed back on March 1. In addition, betting SPORTING KC TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+180) is a very nice value as well.
A winning $10 wager on Sporting Kansas City (-200) to win outright nets a profit of $5. A $10 wager on Vancouver (+475) to win would net a profit of $47.50, while a Draw or Tie (+375) would fetch a $37.50 profit.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 3.5 (+135) should be a pretty solid value here on the alternate line, as Sporting Kansas City has the offensive firepower to take care of the total all on their own. As mentioned above, they have netted at least three goals in four of the previous five meetings against Vancouver.
