Vancouver Whitecaps form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vancouver Whitecaps so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-7 (win-draw-lose).

Impressive finishing from Cavallini and Becher secured the home win 2-1 against Houston Dynamo in their previous game. That win felt good as this team had gone five league rounds without winning. Late drama in the previous game, when Cavallini scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Houston Dynamo. Veselinović was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.42. The defender Veselinović served one assist, hit one key pass and won 4 of 5 duels.

Before that, Vancouver travelled to Nashville SC and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Goals from both teams? This club's most recent fixtures suggest that, having played 5 league games in a row with one or more goals from each team.

After this away game Vancouver Whitecaps return home for a Major League Soccer game against Colorado Rapids. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Vancouver when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away.
