Guess the Starting XI – Match Twenty Four vs. Sporting KC

Welcome back, everyone.

The Vancouver Whitecaps are in action Saturday night at BC Place, as they will host Sporting KC.

It’s been a bit of a tough year for Sporting, who currently sit 13th in the West, having parted ways with long time bench boss Peter Vermes after another lacklustre start. Dejan Joveljić has been a big success for SKC, as he’s notched 13 goals already, and looks set for another elite year of production as an MLS striker. Otherwise though, the list of contributors is pretty short, outside Dániel Sallói.

In terms of Whitecaps news and notes, you have probably heard by now, but Ranko Veselinovic has suffered a season-ending ACL tear, so that is certainly not ideal. Otherwise, Vancouver’s All-Stars are back, so those players are available.

    This should be a given win right? Mind you, LAG might have been in that category too, but SKC at home seems more given.
