Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle Sounders meet in MLS, with the home side pushing for top spot in the table while the visitors still need points to keep their playoff hopes alive. The two teams' most recent matches ended very differently: Whitecaps thrashed their opponents 4-1 at home, while Sounders lost 0-1 at home. Whitecaps remain the highest-scoring team in the league, but they have won only twice in their last five matches and cracks are starting to show in defence. Sounders, meanwhile, are without a win in four straight games, yet they have also never lost by more than a single goal in their last five. Their defence is still holding up well even though the attack has been blunt. The pattern of play is likely to see Whitecaps dominate possession and push high, while Sounders sit back and wait to counter. Goals for both teams tend to come late in matches, especially for Sounders, whose goals for and against are clustered between the 76th and 90th minutes. The key thing to watch after kick-off is how quickly Whitecaps can turn their pressure into an early goal. If they cannot break through in the first half, the game could drag on and finish with only a one-goal margin.
