Vancouver Whitecaps vs Cartagines prediction

The first-leg of this CONCACAF Champions Cup first round tie saw Cartagines and the Vancouver Whitecaps share a goalless draw at Estadio Jose Rafael Fello Meza in Cartago in Costa Rica last week.

The Whitecaps reached the final of the CONCACAF Champions Cup last season but underwhelmed domestically and the Canadians could do with bouncing back so last week was not a great start.

The hosts did edge past Real Salt Lake at the weekend and a low-scoring encounter remains the likeliest outcome, albeit the Whitecaps are the favourites.
