Real Salt Lake and Vancouver Whitecaps meet in very different states of form. The hosts have just ended their last five matches with a 0-2 defeat, their second loss in a row, while the visitors have just lost in the Canadian Championship, but before that had thrashed their league opponent 3-0. Real Salt Lake sit in 11th place with 29 points from 24 matches. Their attack is decent but their defence concedes often, especially late in games where they concede more than at other times. Vancouver Whitecaps, meanwhile, top the table with 46 points from 24 matches, scoring more and conceding clearly fewer. According to the expected lineups, Brian White is likely to play as the lone striker, with Ryan Gauld creating play behind him. The game is likely to unfold with Vancouver Whitecaps having more of the ball and gradually opening up their attack, while Real Salt Lake will likely sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. If the hosts continue to concede easily as they have lately, the game is likely to flow in the visitors' favour.
