Vancouver Whitecaps and San Diego meet in MLS, with the hosts top of the table on 55 points from 31 matches, while the visitors sit 12th with 35 points. Their most recent matches ended differently: Vancouver lost at home 0-1, while San Diego drew 2-2. The form they arrive in is therefore clearly different. Vancouver are still a team that scores more than they concede (63 to 32 across the season), but in their last five matches they have won only one and have scored fewer than two goals in four of them, so their attack has not fully returned. San Diego, meanwhile, have not won in 5 straight matches, but drew 4 of those and scored in every one of those draws. They are a team that, once behind, refuses to let the game slip away easily. If Vancouver start by pressing from the off and take the lead, they are likely to control the tempo and keep pushing forward, while San Diego are likely to drop back and wait to counter in waves. The game will be decided by how quickly the hosts can break down the defence before the visitors get their chance to counter.
