Vancouver Whitecaps vs Wrexham Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Club friendlies 2024

Wrexham’s came close to securing a historic win over Chelsea in the last match.

Vancouver Whitecaps have been enjoying an excellent run of form play despite losing their last match against Houston Dynamo a seven-goal thriller. This loss brought the end of their six-match unbeaten run. Vancouver currently finds themselves in the fifth position in the MLS Western Conference table 11 points shy of league leaders LA Galaxy.

Under the leadership of Italian manager Vanni Sartini, the team have shown some excellent attacking plays this season. However, they will have to tighten the defence after conceding a flurry of goals in the last couple of matches. 

Wrexham’s fairytale run continues after securing back-to-back impressive results against Premier League Outfits Bournemouth and Chelsea. After a title-winning campaign in the League Two, Phil Parkinson’s team will be playing in the League One. 

They showed incredible fightback in the last match to come from behind to take the lead until the final minutes before Chelsea netted the equaliser. The Owners will be proud of the way they are performing lately having been surprised with the level of their performances.
