Vancouver Whitecaps form and stats

There's been little loot from Vancouver Whitecaps's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 16 away games in the Major League Soccer. Vancouver Whitecaps only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 5 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Vancouver Whitecaps are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Vancouver Whitecaps, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Montreal Impact. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against SJ Earthquakes wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Vancouver Whitecaps have scored 17 goals on their travels this season, from 16 away games in the league. The Vancouver Whitecaps manager M. Dos Santos has some worries about the defense as 33 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Montreal Impact - Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1. Last ten meetings between the teams: Montreal Impact won 4, Vancouver Whitecaps won 5 and 1 draw. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
