Welcome back, everyone.

The Vancouver Whitecaps are back home this Wednesday night as they host San Diego in a rematch of last year’s Western Conference Final. While Vancouver remains at the top of the table, San Diego is languishing in 12th in the West, having failed to build on last year’s stellar play.

Guess the XI – Competition Rules

• Predictions are considered valid only if posted in the correct match thread before the official lineup is announced (typically about one hour before kickoff).
• You earn 1 point for each correctly predicted player in the Starting XI.
• You earn an additional 4 bonus points for correctly predicting all 11 starters.
• You earn 5 points for correctly predicting the match result (Win/Draw/Loss).
• This increases to 10 points if you also correctly predict the exact scoreline.
• Therefore, a perfect prediction (Starting XI + result + exact scoreline) is worth a maximum of 25 points.
