Welcome back, everyone.
The Vancouver Whitecaps have one final home match before the Leagues Cup break. Facing the Houston Dynamo, the Whitecaps will have a big opportunity to put distance between them and the Dynamo in the Western Conference standings.
In terms of Vancouver’s squad, here is the latest from training.

Alright, on to rules and standings.
- Predictions will be ‘valid’ if posted HERE (or more accurately, whichever is the correct match thread) before the lineup is officially announced, usually about an hour before kickoff.
- You receive 1 point for every player you correctly guess to be in the Starting XI. You receive 4 bonus points for correctly predicting all 11 starters.
- You get 5 points for correctly guessing Win/Lose/Draw, this doubles to 10 if you also predict the right score-line along with the result.
- All this means, if you correctly predict the Starting XI, Final Score, and Winner, you can earn 25 points!
- At the end of each half of the season, the contestant’s lowest two scores (or missed predictions) of that period will be deducted from the cumulative standings.

My score prediction teeters on what I want. More importantly, I need Gauld and White to do their magic today for my fantasy team!

It could easily be Raposo or Vite in the starting lineup instead of Schöpf/Berhalter. Someone is going to get all 11 starter right this game.
Please change my prediction to 2-1 for the whitecaps!
