THE PREDICTION
Vancouver Whitecaps were the only side in either conference to finish the season unbeaten in 2020; however, their 14 draws cost them a place in the playoffs. They come into this season with the new first-team signings of Deiber Caicedo and Caio Alexandre as well as Bruno Gaspar on loan from Sporting CP. They come up against a Portland Timbers side that finished third in the Western Conference and have made some interesting signings in Claudio Bravo from Banfield and Felipe Mora from UNAM Pumas. Vancouver’s remarkable record for draws last season would be a could bet to continue in the opening match of 2021.
