Vancouver Whitecaps vs Inter Miami Prediction, Preview, Team News and More | MLS 2024
The 2024 edition of MLS is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Vancouver Whitecaps take on Gerardo Martino's Inter Miami side at the BC Place on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Inter Miami are at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have been in excellent form in recent weeks. The Herons edged DC United to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Vancouver Whitecaps, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the Western Conference league table and have been inconsistent over the past year. The home side slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat against Cavalry in the Canadian Championship Cup this week and will need to bounce back in this match.
