The team that leads the MLS in Scoring meets the team that has gone between the goals in about a month.
This is the main story on Saturday night when League-Agni Vancouver Wheetecaps traveled to the east for a matchup with St. Louis City SC.
While Vancouver (6-1-1, 19 points) is sailing at the top of the standing, St. Louis (2–4-2, 8 points) has lost its last four matches, including a 2–1 necklace at home against Columbus on Sunday night. While Joao Claus of Brazil scored St. Louis’s first goal since March 15, the team was also badly out, especially in the first half.
St. Louis coach Olof Melburg said, “We really have to see how we can actually improve there and achieve better movement and variation in our attacks.”
The recent acquisition of Daniel Gajdag from Philadelphia will help St. Louis to generate more crime. Gajdag noted equal markers against Columbus during the second-half stop time, but the play was flagged off for offsides.
Clus said that the team needs to go.
“We have time but if we don’t win the game anymore, it would be difficult,” he said.
This is not a problem for Vancouver, which scored four goals from Brian White in the 5–1 route of Austin FC on 12 April. If the past is a guide, the white may be in line for another big night. He prolonged a hat trick last year when whitakaps defeated St. Louis 4-3.
White’s six goals are a big reason that Vancouver led the league with 17 in eight matches. And whitakaps may be on the verge of bringing the defender Sam Edakugbe back, who scored two goals in their first two matches before the quad injury was sidelined last month.
Whitcaps coach Jasper Soresan said, “We have a difficult program and we need all the forces and all the players that we can manage that we can have.”
Vancouver owns a 3–1-lead lead in a brief range of teams, winning three consecutive wins.
