It's still early in the Major League Soccer season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Toronto - Vancouver Whitecaps preview!
9 - 9 - 15 with 41-67. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Vancouver Whitecaps when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Vancouver Whitecaps play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
These teams have little in common geographically as Vancouver Whitecaps have to travel 4100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Toronto form and stats
The story so far in the Major League Soccer for Toronto at their home stadium (BMO Field) is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
The Toronto fans got no joy from their last match, a Major League Soccer game also here at BMO Field: A 1-3 defeat against New York City (placed 13th). In the match before that, Toronto hosted New England and drew the game 0-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Toronto as they have a new game in only three days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Vancouver Whitecaps are visiting.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Toronto at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Vancouver Whitecaps form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Major League Soccer travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Vancouver goalkeeper Thomas Hasal is eager to challenge this, with his 219 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Sporting KC (after extra-time, 3-1 on penalties) in their previous outing. The Major League Soccer match ended in a draw 0-0. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Chicago Fire.
Goalkeeper Thomas Hasal made a total of eight saves, making him a hero against Sporting KC (after extra-time, 3-1 on penalties). Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vancouver manager M. Dos Santos as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Toronto.
It's early days yet, but Vancouver Whitecaps has scored 1 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Toronto, three draws and three wins for Vancouver Whitecaps. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
