Last time Vancouver took over two months ago when they beat Montreal 2:0 at home. Since then, hard times began for Mark Dos Santos’ charges: the club cannot win over seven matches (five defeats and two draws). Moreover, there was only one truly disastrous match, when the blue-whites could not oppose anything at all to Sporting Kansas City (0:3). By the way, the caps in the current series lost to Real Madrid in a foreign field with a score of 1:3. The two previous meetings should instill optimism in players and fans. The draw with Seattle can be considered a very decent result. But with Dallas (both – 2:2) the club was obliged to keep the advantage, but an own goal in stoppage time spoiled the whole picture, which made it impossible to leave the last place.
Orlando City failed to make it to the playoffs, as did their opponents. The result of the last season was 22nd place in the overall standings. Oscar Pareha’s wards managed to get six victories for 11 rounds of the new season and three times ended fights in a draw, which brought 21 points and the second position in the Eastern Conference. After three consecutive victories over Toronto (3:2), San Jose (5:0) and Inter (2:1), the Lions failed in a duel with the New York Red Bulls (1:2), for which we made a prediction.
