Team News

Vancouver
Charlotte FC
  • Sam Adekugbe is still about a month away from returning due to injury.
  • Bjorn Utvik is unlikely to play as he is day-to-day with an injury.
  • Mathias Laborda is suspended for this match from last season's red card.
  • Ali Ahmed is questionable after returning from an injury and could be available off the bench.
  • Joe Bendik is questionable with a back injury.
  • Brandt Bronico is out for a couple of weeks with a thigh injury.
  • Ben Bender is out the first four weeks of the season after undergoing knee surgery.
  • Djibril Diani is waiting for his visa and will miss this match.
  • Bill Tuiloma, Scott Arfield, and Patrick Agyemang are all questionable for this match.
  • Brandon Cambridge is off crutches but is still quite a bit away from returning to the squad.

Prediction

  • Vancouver was on bye last weekend as the odd team out without an opponent. They had played two competitive matches in Concacaf Champions Cup action, ultimately being eliminated at the hands of Liga MX's Tigres.
  • Charlotte FC had a tough offseason losing Karol Swiderski and several other key players. Now they have a ton of injuries to deal with and are struggling with squad depth. You could hardly tell in matchday one as they defeated NYCFC 1-0 at Bank of America Stadium. This task will be much tougher as they have to travel from coast to coast for their first road match.
