The encounter between these two teams will start at 8:00 pm ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
This match is available to watch live on Apple TV. Remember, all League Cup games can only be watched through Apple TV.
There is no official information on the unavailable players from either team.
On paper, the Vancouver Whitecaps shouldn't have too much trouble winning this match.
However, this is soccer, and anything can happen, including an upset by a team that didn't get off to the best start in Liga MX.
That said, if the Caps stay true to their vertical style of play while remaining patient in possession, they'll put themselves in a strong position to come away with the victory.
The truth is that the Caps are not going through their finest moments with the outcomes, but the playing style of the Canadian side is still intact.
On the other side, Atlante could opt for a more compact approach and look to strike on the counterattack.
Their recent win over Cruz Azul proved they can hurt opponents without needing to dominate possession throughout the match. Either way, you can expect full control of the Caps the entire night.
