With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Major League Soccer game of the season. Toronto look forward to welcoming Vancouver Whitecaps in front of their home support.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Vancouver Whitecaps play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Vancouver Whitecaps when playing on grass are 7 wins, 9 draws and 21 defeats from 37 matches. They have scored 38 goals and conceded 80 times in these games.
Vancouver Whitecaps have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
