Vancouver Whitecaps

USA: MLS

Vancouver Whitecaps project as a slightly above-average attacking side with a respectable defensive foundation, posting 1.97 expected goals for against 1.09 against per match. Recent form has been mixed—three wins, two draws and three losses across their last eight settled fixtures suggest inconsistency, though their most recent outing was a victory. With no imminent fixture in the prediction window, the model's immediate focus remains calibrating to their underlying shot quality and defensive solidity. Bawler's banker selections on Whitecaps matches have landed at 63 per cent, indicating reliable predictive traction on this squad's output.

Goals scored (xG)1.96+0.51 vs league
Goals conceded (xG)1.110.32 vs league
◇ = USA: MLS average. Lower xG conceded is better.

How to read this: the green bar shows the average goals Vancouver Whitecaps were expected to score per match (their xG output). The red bar shows what opponents are expected to score against them. The diamond on each bar marks the USA: MLS average — if the bar extends past the diamond, Vancouver Whitecaps are above average there.

How to read this: the solid line is the goals Vancouver Whitecaps actually scored each match. The dashed line is the goals the model expected them to score (xG). When the solid line is above the dashed, they overperformed — they finished better than the chances they created suggested. When it's below, they underperformed. Persistent underperformance often regresses; a one-off gap usually doesn't.
