There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-10-20 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
It's quite the trip for Vancouver Whitecaps when visiting Sporting KC as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
