Vancouver Whitecaps form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vancouver Whitecaps so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-7 (win-draw-lose).

Vancouver failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Minnesota United that ended with defeat 1-3. That loss was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. The attacker Dájome got a match rating of 7.65 in that game. Dájome dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 27 successful passes (of 31 total).

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Los Angeles FC.

Vancouver Whitecaps are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 5 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Vancouver Whitecaps now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Major League Soccer game at Portland Timbers is waiting in only four days.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Vancouver Whitecaps, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
